JavaFX Scripts do not seem to work on other computers

When I bring my app to another computer the two buttons that should either open a file browser, or take in a file path to open a file both don't work. I don't understand why.

It works perfectly fine if I compile it within Netbeans.

package maxsublistsum;

    for (i in [0..lastIndex]) {
        var currentValue = list[i];

        if (currentSum > 0) {
            currentSum = currentSum + currentValue;
            if (currentStartIndex == -1) { currentStartIndex = i }
            insert currentValue into currentSubList;
        }else {
            currentSum = currentValue;
            currentStartIndex = i;
            currentSubList = [currentValue];
        }
        if (currentSum > maxSum){
            maxSum = currentSum;
            maxEndIndex = i;
            maxStartIndex = currentStartIndex;
            maxSubList = currentSubList

}//End of class

It works perfectly fine if I compile it within Netbeans.

Typically, NetBeans puts copies of required libraries alongside your JAR in a folder named dist. You might check that you're including any other required JARs when you copy things elsewhere.

Addendum: There may be something helpful in the article Deploying JavaFX Applications. Also, some older JWS launchers may not correctly support class-path wildcards.

I was having the same issue and could not find a way to fix this, until I thought about what was said in the previous answer about Libraries not being included.

I had only 5 libraries to begin with:

mysql-connector-java.5.1.34-bin.jar EclipseLink (stuff- 3 Libraries) JDK 1.8(Default)

I went into the Java 1.8 one and saw that javafx is including in the library, but I decided add javaFX to see what would happen anyways.

1. Right-click the project and click properties.
2. Click the Libraries menu item, on the left hand side.
3. Click Add Jar/Folder
4. Inside the file chooser, I went into my current java JDK place. For mine it was, C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_40. Then Click the javafx-src.zip as the Library to add. CLick open, then click ok on the properties menu.
5. After this, Run 'Clean and Build' Project.
6. Then packaged the program as Image Only. Where you have to copy the entire app directory or you have to make your own installer to move the folder, and then place a shortcut to the application.

After being packaged went to the other computer and tried it, Worked like a charm!!!

I hope this helps someone.

Happy Programming!
