Update: Fix Failed to automatically set up a JavaFX Platform
If you followed the tutorial on how to handle the problem but still get the error. I also experience this one problem. When I install the latest version of JDK and JavaFX, I only have JDK 17 and JavaFX 17 installed. When I tried to create a JavaFX project, I encountered this error, and I fixed by downloading a new version of the JDK which is an older version like the JDK 8.
That’s how I fixed the failed to automatically set up a JavaFX Platform with JDK 17 and JavaFX 17.
That’s all. Very easy, right? You can now create your new JavaFX application without a JavaFX Platform error. I hope this helped you a lot. If you want to learn more feel free go here.
