How to add external Jar in modular JavaFX 11 project correctly

Question

I'm using Java 11 and JavaFX 11. So my JavaFX project contains module-info.class with lines like:

module checker {
    requires javafx.fxml;
    requires javafx.controls;
    requires TextInputProgram; // this is external jar that I added in modular JavaFX project
    opens sample;
    exports sample; // package of program
}

And I want to build artifacts to get jar including external jar and javafx program via Java 11 following this tutorial.

The problem is:
when I'm writting the command:

dir /s /b src\*.java > sources.txt & javac --module-path %PATH_TO_FX% -d mods/checker @sources.txt & del sources.txt

or

dir /s /b src\*.java > sources.txt & javac --module-path %PATH_TO_FX_MODS% -d mods/checker @sources.txt & del sources.txt

I'm getting:

D:\IdeaProject\checker>dir /s /b src\*.java > sources.txt & javac --module-path %PATH_TO_FX_MODS% -d mods/checker @sources.txt & del sources.txt
D:\IdeaProject\checker\src\module-info.java:4: error: module not found: TextInputProgram
    requires TextInputProgram;
             ^
1 error

Before it I set two paths succesfully:

set PATH_TO_FX="path\to\javafx-sdk-12.0.2\lib"
set PATH_TO_FX_MODS="path\to\javafx-jmods-12.0.2"

Can someone explain how to get Jar that will include JavaFX program and external jar using Java 11?

Hey @invzbl3 check If you are using the correct version of java and JavaFX version that you have set the path to. Are you using java 11 and JavaFX 11? but i see your path has been set to point to JavaFX12.

Hey @Sirajul. I specified own versions by the same principle:
openjfx-11.0.2_windows-x64_bin-jmods
openjfx-11.0.2_windows-x64_bin-sdk

The problem is that module isn't found for external jar which I don't know how correctly to set as module to include in final executable jar. I added this external jar as lib in Project Structure, in module-info.class, but still cmd is complaining about it.

I guess you should try this. Add the path to the external jar file here( instead of putting it in a lib ) in this particular operation in the same way as you have specified the JavaFX path.

D:\IdeaProject\checker>dir /s /b src\*.java > sources.txt & javac --module-path %PATH_TO_FX_MODS% -d mods/checker @sources.txt & del sources.txt

you might find this helpful! Check this out: 

Here they have directly added the external dependency jar (logic-1.0-sanpshot.jar) using the CLI instead of the conventional way! Have a look: https://dzone.com/articles/javafx-on-jdk-11

Thanks, Karan! It's actually good example.

Glad that it was helpful @Invzbl3
