1. Right Click on the project and select "Properties".
2. Select "Libraries" from opened "Project Properties window".

For Maven projects, setting the bootclasspath for the compiler plugin fixes the problem:

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>3.1</version>
            <configuration>
                <compilerArguments>
                    <bootclasspath>${sun.boot.class.path}${path.separator}${java.home}/lib/jfxrt.jar</bootclasspath>
                </compilerArguments>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

Answer 3

I have the same platform (netbeans 8.0 and JDK 8), searching in other project (build in netbeans 7.4 and JDK 7) I found a little difference in the project.properties file, search it in <>/nbproject, look for the line:

javac.processorpath=\
    ${javac.classpath}:\
    ${libs.eclipselinkmodelgen.classpath}

and change the text to finally be the following:

javac.processorpath=\
    ${javac.classpath}

thats all, I don't know if it's a bug in netbeans 8 or maybe it's something wrong in the way to make the project, but this fix work for me, more details in this blog entry (spanish version)

Answer 4

I got the same error, I checked what imolero said at the project.property file and is exactly as he said is the solution, so I have to change nothing in it.

I realized that each time I worked in a JavaFX project the java files are not compiled automatically when save the file, so I made manually (F9), and re-run the project and every thing works fine. I tried to set Compile on Save in the project properties, but is shadowed, that´s the reason that I have to do it manually. My enviroment is: Windows 7 Professional 64 bits, JDK 1.8.0, Netbeans 8.0 (Build 201403101706)
