Just tried to run my old tests in java-9 and see them not running at all due to an exception thrown by the code that guarantees running on the FX-threaad (the ol' trick to instantiate a JFXPanel)
The stand-alone example below (it's the plain tutorial code) throws it as well:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: D:\java\jdk\190_ea\bin\awt.dll: Can't find dependent libraries

Environment is win7, jdk9-ea-107 (without jigsaw), eclipse-neon-ea - questions are simple: a) what's wrong exactly, b) how to fix?
The exact output of java -version is:
java version "9-ea" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 9-ea+107-2016-02-24-175644.javare.4520.nc)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 9-ea+107-2016-02-24-175644.javare.4520.nc, mixed mode)
The code:
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
import javafx.application.Platform;
import javafx.embed.swing.JFXPanel;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.text.Font;
import javafx.scene.text.Text;
public class JFXPanelExample {
private static void initAndShowGUI() {
// This method is invoked on the EDT thread
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Swing and JavaFX");
final JFXPanel fxPanel = new JFXPanel();
frame.add(fxPanel);
frame.setSize(300, 200);
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
initFX(fxPanel);
}
});
}
private static void initFX(JFXPanel fxPanel) {
// This method is invoked on the JavaFX thread
Scene scene = createScene();
fxPanel.setScene(scene);
}
private static Scene createScene() {
Group root = new Group();
Scene scene = new Scene(root, Color.ALICEBLUE);
Text text = new Text();
text.setX(40);
text.setY(100);
text.setFont(new Font(25));
text.setText("Welcome JavaFX!");
root.getChildren().add(text);
return (scene);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
initAndShowGUI();
}
});
}
}
Update
tried both suggestions in the comments (updating to most recent 9-ea-107, running from the command line) - no success, same exception.
Another observation: the example above fails with the same stacktrace even when all fx related code is commented - plain swing won't run. Looks like something severely wrong in my environment.
