I'm trying to make changes to a major old project with latest version B4j and Java!
Receive the following error message:
Using Windows 10 Pro

_____________________________________________________________________

If I use Java 11, it can not compile the entire project in debug or release mode!
Get the following error:

If I use Java 8 I can't compile the project in Debug mode!

If I use Java 8, I can compile the project in Release mode!

And the project work satisfactorily

Where did your get your Java 11 from? You should download the one on the B4J product page as it includes JavaFX which looks like it is missing from yours.

The process cannot access the file C:\D\program\B4j\Server\ABMServer\EasyMedia\Objects\EasyMediaStart.because it is used in another process.

I assume that is the jar file. Normally it is because the process is still running, if it is not visible to be closed then you can kill it with Task Manager or just log out of Windows and log back in again which will kill all your processes. No need to reboot Windows.

I have no suggestions about the Java 8 Debiug problem.

Hear i get the Java 11 from this forum

How to run Java 11?

1. Download Java 11 with the required components: http://b4xfiles-4c17.kxcdn.com/jdk-11.0.1.zip
This package includes the following components: OpenJDK 11 and OpenJFX 11.0.1 (SDK + jmods).

Always use the latest version. Currently it is 8.80.

Make sure that there is no illegal code in Process_Globals subs. These subs should only be used for declaration of global variables.

I have upgraded B4j to ver. 8.80 and checked under sub Class_Globals, no code other than declarations is there.

Howeveer it looks like something is missing in JavaFX in my installation of Java 11.01. See below

Carefully follow the installation instructions: https://www.b4x.com/b4j.html

 

[agraham]

Use 7-Zip and NOT File Explorer to unzip the OpenJDK 11 archive.

 

[johnerikson]

I have downloaded all the tools re-installed according to instructions (hope I understand them). I use 7-Zip to unpack zip files.
Doesn't help! I have a module AnotherDataPicker (from this forum) as if I comments code completely then succeed the compilation but the program can not start either in debug or release mode. It always points to the same problem.

But if I use Java 8 then all works. So I choose to go back to Java 8 with this project, it's very easy to change java version. I use ver. Java 11 for small applications for distribution to other computers without Java installed!

Another problem is that IDE version 8.80 crashes frequently, mostly when marking text. You have to finish the program to continue!

You haven't configured Java correctly. Carefully follow the installation instructions and don't forget to update the path under Tools - Configure Paths.

Another problem is that IDE version 8.80 crashes frequently, mostly when marking text.

I'm not familiar with such problem. It was never reported before. Please start a new thread and provide more information.
