jfxrt.jar not in JDK 1.8?

Question

I just updated my JDK to the JDK 1.8 because i couldnt find the jfxrt.jar needed by java FX in the 1.7 version.

I downloaded the JDK from here: http://www.oracle.com/tec

Answer 1

Am using linuxmint 18.1 and i had the same issue. i realized that the open jdk i had didn't have the jfxrt.jar library. Download another jdk from oracle and then install it. Remember to change the path in the netbeans.conf file in the netbeans installation folder.
