Solution

  • After downloading JavaFX 11+, extract the file, and when the file is extracted, switch to IntelliJ IDEA. Then follow the steps below in IntelliJ IDEA.

    1. File
    2. Project Structure
    3. Global Libraries
    4. Press the "+" sign and then Java
    5. Go to the JavaFX 11+ folder you have just downloaded. Go into the Folder and now go into "lib" and select all of these files in the Folder except "src.zip", and press "OK" in the bottom right corner and save it as "javafx12".

    6. Now you move the mouse pointer under the "+" and press right click on the Librarie that you named as "javafx12", now a small window opens with different options but you press the mouse pointer on "Add to Modules" after you did that you move the mouse pointer to the "src" Folder and right-click with the mouse. Now open a wide window with various options but you choose the "New" option, now has opened a wide window with many different options but you choose again "module-info.java" and now you copy this text: 

      module YOUR-PROJECT-NAME {

    requires javafx.graphics;
    requires javafx.controls;
    requires javafx.media;
    requires javafx.base;
    requires javafx.web;
    requires javafx.swing;
    requires javafx.fxml;

    opens application;
}

    This resolves the problem.
