Problem with Javafx

Question

I have a problem when I add a JFX button that is present in the Jfoenix library. When opening my FXML document, it directs right to Scenebuilder, and inside it, to use all the items contained in the Jfoenix library.

But when I run my program through netbeans so that it can show how it’s getting from the bug, the problem that it only gets from the bug when I add any item from the JFX library .

In the example below there is only one Anchorpane and one Jfxbutton and it presents the following errors:

Copying 13 files to C:\Users\Igor\Documents\NetBeansProjects\JavaFXApplication1\dist\run728892560

Answer 1

Digging up question for future reference:

The real problem as the stack trace is the version of Java:

Caused by: java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/jfoenix/controls/JFXButton has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 53.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 52.0

In this case the version in question of Jfoenix requires Java 9 (class file version 53.0) and the application was running on Java 8 (52.0).

For a full list of class versions see offsets Table 6 and 7 in the following Article: Wikipedia - Java class file (in English).

Answer 2

You have to add the library inside the netbeans. Go to File, Project Properties, Libraries, Add JAR/Folder.

Go to Project Properties

Now under Libraries, click Add JAR/Folder, select the . Jfoenix Jar.

Click OK, now just rebuild the project.
