Program crashes when making JavaFX label

Question

Whenever i make a Label my program crashes. I have added the JavaFX lib and I can use other JavaFX components such as Circle, Rectangle,Line ,Text without issues. I'm currently running on JavaFx 13, but i've tried on JavaFX 11 aswell.

Here is the error I get when i make a Label.

Exception in Application start method
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

You have to install JavaFX SDK as well as it was removed from JDK after the release of JDK10. If that not works, try setting access rule (Eclipse: Build Path/JRE Library/ Access Rules): Type : Accessible (From Drop Down) And below, write: javafx**/ Apply and close. Thanks.
