It works fine on other macs with m1 chips or any other chips. does any one have any clue as how to solve this, I tried compiling with all the javafx sdks since 17. It was working fine with jdk 11 and javafx sdk 11. but we are now migrating everything to Java 17. and other latest versions.

Answer 1

I was able to solve this by upgrading to jdk21 and using the openjfx 21 aarch64 libs. and also removed the j2d rendering pipeline, as its deprecated. I am just using sw now.

Also following flags were added in the command.

-Djava.security.policy=java.policy -Djava.library.path="../Libraries/javafx/lib" -Dprism.order=sw -Dprism.verbose=true --module-path "../Libraries/javafx/lib" --add-modules javafx.controls,javafx.base,javafx.fxml,javafx.graphics,javafx.media,javafx.web --add-opens=javafx.graphics/javafx.scene=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports javafx.base/com.sun.javafx.event=ALL-UNNAMED
