JavaFX JAR file won't run

Question

I'm in a project and we try to run a jar file, but we get an error we can't solve. We get following error: error

I tried many things, but nothing helped. Is there anything I have to configurate at JavaFX set up, or in building the JAR in IntelliJ?

I use:

javafx-sdk-13.0.1
jdk-13.0.1
jre1.8.0_231
IntelliJ IDE

Are you really compiling with Java 13 but running with Java 8? — Slaw, Nov 24 '19 at 14:29
It is better to post the error code as text so that others with the same problem can find this question by searching the error! — Dandelion, Nov 24 '19 at 14:47
@Slaw, as I see JRE 8 is the most recent version, or am I wrong? — ChiefAbi, Nov 24 '19 at 14:55
The latest version is Java 13.0.1. I'm surprised you're getting the error you are as I'd have expected a `UnsupportedClassVersionError`; code compiled with newer versions of Java cannot be executed by older versions of Java. Are you cross-compiling? Or are you actually executing with Java 13 but don't realize it? In any case, the error indicates the JavaFX libraries are found but that there's a problem initializing the toolkit. Are you running on the same computer that you built the JAR on? — Slaw, Nov 24 '19 at 15:03
In the project structure java version 13.0.1 is selected, and in Intellij the project can be compiled without any errors. I am not cross-compiling. The computer is the same I built the JAR on. But is there a 'newer' JRE version, or don't I need JRE and JDK at the same time? — ChiefAbi, Nov 24 '19 at 15:26
Oracle no longer provides a JRE-only distribution, though other vendors may. Regarding the deployment of JavaFX applications, maybe [How to deploy a JavaFX 11 Desktop application with a JRE](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53453212/), as well as its many linked questions, can help. In case you're not aware since you're new, if you look on the right-hand side of the page you'll see two sections labeled "Linked" and "Related" (though the former is only present if there's actually linked questions). — Slaw, Nov 24 '19 at 17:41

I had a very similar error message:

Graphics Device initialization failed for :  es2, sw

The fix was to include the .so files in the JAR.

To do that in IntelliJ, it's:

File > Project Structure > Artifacts > click the "+" symbol > File > and then select all the .so files in the JavaFX folder.
