My jdk version：

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.0.1+9-30, mixed mode, sharing)

when I input “java -jar SpeedGuide.jar”
Error: Could not find or load main class com.lseg.ema.example.gui.SpeedGuide
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javafx/application/Application

This error means that this 1.8.0_451 doesn't have JavaFx.

Error: JavaFX has been removed from JDK 8.

Please try 1.8.0_333.

Thank you for reaching out to us.

I checked the source code page on GitHub.

Note

: Because the package was built using JDK 1.8. which conveniently packages the JavaFx package, user must ensure they install Java 8 runtime.

Hi @Jirapongse, we have pretty much the same problem, but it seems like the root of the crash lies in the Java 8 runtime itself

$ java -jar .\SpeedGuide.jar
Error: JavaFX has been removed from JDK 8.
Visit https://www.oracle.com/javase/javafx for more information.
Error: Could not find or load main class com.lseg.ema.example.gui.SpeedGuide

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

The SpeedGuide uses the JavaFX.

I checked and found that the JavaFX may be removed from the new versions of JDK 1.8.

I tested it with the JDK 1.8.0_333 and it can run the SpeedGuide properly.
