JavaFX application works on Linux and Windows, but not on Macs (our Macs have M chips

Question

I built a JavaFX application, which work on Windows and Linux, but not on Macs.

I tried the application with two Macs, and both have an M chip.

This is the error which I get:

I don't understand why you put `...` in the build plugins section to leave out important relevant info on what you are doing. — jewelsea, Apr 20 '23 at 01:50
If you are building a cross-platform jar using [maven shade](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52653836/maven-shade-javafx-runtime-components-are-missing) or something similar (unsupported configuration), then *all* javafx dependencies (including transitive ones), should be listed in the pom.xml with *all* relevant platform classifiers *for each javafx dependency*. There is also no need for unclassified javafx dependencies for such a build. — jewelsea, Apr 20 '23 at 01:52
Use the same verison for *all* JavaFX dependencies and don't use `ea` versions. — jewelsea, Apr 20 '23 at 01:55
You can't be helped without a [mcve], a better description of what you are trying to do, and the actual commands you are running. Unless somebody can replicate your issues, your chance of receiving a more helpful answer is very low. If you don't understand something, then you need to explicitly explain what you don't understand, otherwise, others cannot understand what you don't understand. You can edit the question to improve it. — jewelsea, Apr 20 '23 at 13:29
Can you look to this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76065181/javafx-application-dont-work-for-mac-when-i-am-adding-to-maven-two-dependencies?noredirect=1#comment134149898_76065181 I am not able to edit this question, because stacks says my question is a spam, when I try to edit it. I changed the pom a little bit, and now when I am deleting 2 dependencies, its works for mac user but then it dont work for linux and windows user — markusnether, Apr 20 '23 at 16:01
@JdjdjwVdvdhdh Can you quote the exact text of the error message? I see no reason that this question would be considered spam, or why you'd be blocked from editing it. I was able to edit just fine. — EJoshuaS - Stand with Ukraine, Apr 20 '23 at 16:28

Use the JavaFX Maven plugin to automatically pull in the correct libraries for your platform:

<plugins>
    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
        <artifactId>javafx-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>0.0.8</version>
        <configuration>
            <mainClass>HelloFX</mainClass>
        </configuration>
    </plugin>
</plugins>

and then to add dependencies on javafx.fxml and javafx.controls:

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
    <artifactId>javafx-fxml</artifactId>
    <version>${javafx.version}</version>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
    <artifactId>javafx-controls</artifactId>
    <version>${javafx.version}</version>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

Okay thank you should i delete all other dependencies of javafx? – markusnether Apr 20 '23 at 11:18
And are my properties correct? – markusnether Apr 20 '23 at 11:18
because i added it, and it didn´t work – markusnether Apr 20 '23 at 11:18
Yes, you have to delete all the other dependencies of JavaFX. If you want to add dependencies on more JavaFX modules, add them in the way it was posted in the answer. You should also change your javafx.version property to `20` and remove all the `-ea+4`. – airsquared Apr 20 '23 at 20:10
