B4J Question Use Java code to place PDF view on a pane in b4j

[Markos]

Hi All,

I believe this Java code works but I need to be able to show the Object which in this case is a PDF but it keeps saying :

B4J Version: 8.10
Java Version: 11

 return new BorderPane(myViewer);
                       ^
Note: Some messages have been simplified; recompile with -Xdiags:verbose to get full output
