This is outdated. New projects will be using OpenJFX or Oracle's JFX (which is optional and not packaged with JDK). Therefore, the jfxrt.jar no longer exists with Java.

Unfortunately, I still cannot figure out how to get OpenJFX installed in a way that makes sense to me. I'd like to use Maven central to get the jars, but this is failing. So I do not have an alternative working solution yet.

Include the Gluon JavaFX maven artifacts and then use as usual.

Something like:

                 [org.openjfx/javafx-base "11.0.2"]
                 [org.openjfx/javafx-controls "11.0.2"]
                 [org.openjfx/javafx-graphics "11.0.2"]
                 [org.openjfx/javafx-swing "11.0.2"]

Note, the *Builder classes have been removed (a long time ago). This bit me as I had an old project that depended on them and could not find them.

There are Gluon JavaFX maven artifacts for JDK 17 as well. I use JDK 11 for a legacy application because JDK 11 will still be supported for another year and a half or so. Same with the Gluon JavaFX jars.
