The frequent updates for Java versions is causing me headaches in my software engineering course.
I have some students who are doing their project in Java 11, which is not available on the school's machines. I tried following some of these directions to upgrade to Java 11. I don't recall my exact steps. Unfortunately, now some JavaFX things are broken back in Java 8. After compiling via the command line and running code from other students, I'm receiving this error mid-application:
Exception in thread "JavaFX Application Thread" MediaException: UNKNOWN : com.sun.media.jfxmedia.MediaException: Could not create player! : com.sun.media.jfxmedia.MediaException: Could not create player!
Even though I think I'm switched back to Java 8:
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javac
There are 3 choices for the alternative javac (providing /usr/bin/javac).
Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/javac 1101 auto mode
1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/javac 1101 manual mode
* 2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/bin/javac 1081 manual mode
3 /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/bin/javac 1081 manual mode
and
$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
There are 3 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).
Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/java 1101 auto mode
1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/java 1101 manual mode
* 2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java 1081 manual mode
3 /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre/bin/java 1081 manual mode
I would like to allow my students to use whichever version of Java they prefer. How can I fix my setup so that JavaFX works again? How can I set things up so I can accommodate multiple versions of Java?
Update:
I tried updating using update-java-alternatives as suggested below. It seems to have failed:
$ sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64
update-java-alternatives: plugin alternative does not exist: /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so

at javafx.scene.media.MediaPlayer.init(MediaPlayer.java:511)
at javafx.scene.media.MediaPlayer.<init>(MediaPlayer.java:414)
I tried switching to Java 11 using update-java-alternatives, and the code would no longer compile. Here's the first compilation error:
$ javac *.java
BestMusicPlayer.java:1: error: package javafx.application does not exist
import javafx.application.Application;
This happens for both the Java 8 and Java 11 code that's been submitted to me.

The frequent updates for Java versions is causing me headaches in my software engineering course.
I have some students who are doing their project in Java 11, which is not available on the school's machines. I tried following some of these directions to upgrade to Java 11. I don't recall my exact steps. Unfortunately, now some JavaFX things are broken back in Java 8. After compiling via the command line and running code from other students, I'm receiving this error mid-application:
Exception in thread "JavaFX Application Thread" MediaException: UNKNOWN : com.sun.media.jfxmedia.MediaException: Could not create player! : com.sun.media.jfxmedia.MediaException: Could not create player!
Even though I think I'm switched back to Java 8:
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javac
There are 3 choices for the alternative javac (providing /usr/bin/javac).
Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/javac 1101 auto mode

* 2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/bin/javac 1081 manual mode
3 /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/bin/javac 1081 manual mode
and
$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
There are 3 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).

I then compiled and ran code (both submitted in Java 8 and Java 11, just in case), and got the same exception:

I tried switching to Java 11 using update-java-alternatives, and the code would no longer compile. Here's the first compilation error:
$ javac *.java
BestMusicPlayer.java:1: error: package javafx.application does not exist
import javafx.application.Application;
This happens for both the Java 8 and Java 11 code that's been submitted to me.

You should useupdate-java-alternativesbecause there is usually a lot more that has to be changed than justjavaandjavac.

Great! I tried that, but it looks like it failed: $ sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64 update-java-alternatives: plugin alternative does not exist: /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so

The IcedTeaPlugin provides support for java applets in web browsers. It is not installed by default and if you don't need it, you can ignore it. If you want to see the alternatives provided by all java installations, runupdate-java-alternatives -v -l. The-v(verbose) option also shows which alternatives have been set (not only the errors):sudo update-java-alternatives -v -s java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64(but only if they changed; if you already switched to openjdk 8,update-java-alternativeswill only try to set the plugin alternative, which obviously fails)

I think you were saying that I could ignore that problem (since I'm not worried about browser applets). I still couldn't get the code to run, so I updated my question with the results I got.

that was more like a general suggestion and it looks like switching java versions works. I'm sorry if javaFx still doesn't work but I currently don't have an idea why.

The frequent updates for Java versions is causing me headaches in my software engineering course.
I have some students who are doing their project in Java 11, which is not available on the school's machines. I tried following some of these directions to upgrade to Java 11. I don't recall my exact steps. Unfortunately, now some JavaFX things are broken back in Java 8. After compiling via the command line and running code from other students, I'm receiving this error mid-application:
Exception in thread "JavaFX Application Thread" MediaException: UNKNOWN : com.sun.media.jfxmedia.MediaException: Could not create player! : com.sun.media.jfxmedia.MediaException: Could not create player!
Even though I think I'm switched back to Java 8:
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javac
There are 3 choices for the alternative javac (providing /usr/bin/javac).

The frequent updates for Java versions is causing me headaches in my software engineering course.
I have some students who are doing their project in Java 11, which is not available on the school's machines. I tried following some of these directions to upgrade to Java 11. I don't recall my exact steps. Unfortunately, now some JavaFX things are broken back in Java 8. After compiling via the command line and running code from other students, I'm receiving this error mid-application:
Exception in thread "JavaFX Application Thread" MediaException: UNKNOWN : com.sun.media.jfxmedia.MediaException: Could not create player! : com.sun.media.jfxmedia.MediaException: Could not create player!

I then compiled and ran code (both submitted in Java 8 and Java 11, just in case), and got the same exception:
MediaException: UNKNOWN : com.sun.media.jfxmedia.MediaException: Could not create player! : com.sun.media.jfxmedia.MediaException: Could not create player!
at javafx.scene.media.MediaException.exceptionToMediaException(MediaException.java:146)
at javafx.scene.media.MediaPlayer.init(MediaPlayer.java:511)
at javafx.scene.media.MediaPlayer.<init>(MediaPlayer.java:414)
I tried switching to Java 11 using update-java-alternatives, and the code would no longer compile. Here's the first compilation error:
$ javac *.java
BestMusicPlayer.java:1: error: package javafx.application does not exist
import javafx.application.Application;
This happens for both the Java 8 and Java 11 code that's been submitted to me.
kubuntu java openjdk javafx
kubuntu java openjdk javafx

You should useupdate-java-alternativesbecause there is usually a lot more that has to be changed than justjavaandjavac.

Great! I tried that, but it looks like it failed: $ sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64 update-java-alternatives: plugin alternative does not exist: /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so

The IcedTeaPlugin provides support for java applets in web browsers. It is not installed by default and if you don't need it, you can ignore it. If you want to see the alternatives provided by all java installations, runupdate-java-alternatives -v -l. The-v(verbose) option also shows which alternatives have been set (not only the errors):sudo update-java-alternatives -v -s java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64(but only if they changed; if you already switched to openjdk 8,update-java-alternativeswill only try to set the plugin alternative, which obviously fails)
– danzel
Dec 4 at 12:15
I think you were saying that I could ignore that problem (since I'm not worried about browser applets). I still couldn't get the code to run, so I updated my question with the results I got.
– Kyle
Dec 6 at 14:51
that was more like a general suggestion and it looks like switching java versions works. I'm sorry if javaFx still doesn't work but I currently don't have an idea why.
