Module javafx.base not found in java 13

Question

I have configured javafx 11 with openjdk 13. I have added the PATH_TO_FX statically to the location of javafx.

And in project structure I have configured openjdk 13 but still it is giving the error Module javafx.base not found in java 11

You need OpenJFX. I often use a project based on the **maven** build infrastructure, with library dependency management. — Joop Eggen, Sep 17 '20 at 07:28
Every IDE can do maven or gradle projects. Search for `maven repo openjfx` and you'll find the (library) dependency to add. As one can expect many modules, jars, better use such a tool as maven. Search examples. I'll give a pom.xml (maven's project-object-module). — Joop Eggen, Sep 17 '20 at 08:12
This is not directly related to your problem but why do you use such a weired combination of versions. It just doesn't make sense to use an old version of JavaFX with a younger but still not current version of Java. Why don't you just use Java15/JavaFX15? — mipa, Sep 17 '20 at 08:15

A pom.xml might contain the following OpenJFX dependencies. I have copied them for java 13, which you are using too.

        </plugins>
    </build>
</project>

I'll hope you see the advantage: there are several modules that make up JavaFX.
