One of the applications we recently build on IntelliJ IDEA
was using JavaFX
.
When executing the application from inside IntelliJ
, it would work as expected and load the GUI.
On the other hand, when executing the jar file from the terminal, we would get the following error:
$ java -jar hello.jar Graphics Device initialization failed for : es2, sw Error initializing QuantumRenderer: no suitable pipeline found java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: Error initializing QuantumRenderer: no suitable pipeline found at com.sun.javafx.tk.quantum.QuantumRenderer.getInstance(QuantumRenderer.java:280) at com.sun.javafx.tk.quantum.QuantumToolkit.init(QuantumToolkit.java:221) at com.sun.javafx.tk.Toolkit.getToolkit(Toolkit.java:205) at com.sun.javafx.application.PlatformImpl.startup(PlatformImpl.java:209) at com.sun.javafx.application.LauncherImpl.startToolkit(LauncherImpl.java:675) at com.sun.javafx.application.LauncherImpl.launchApplicationWithArgs(LauncherImpl.java:337) at com.sun.javafx.application.LauncherImpl.launchApplication(LauncherImpl.java:328) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:498) at sun.launcher.LauncherHelper$FXHelper.main(LauncherHelper.java:767) Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Error initializing QuantumRenderer: no suitable pipeline found at com.sun.javafx.tk.quantum.QuantumRenderer$PipelineRunnable.init(QuantumRenderer.java:94) at com.sun.javafx.tk.quantum.QuantumRenderer$PipelineRunnable.run(QuantumRenderer.java:124) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) Exception in thread "main" java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:498) at sun.launcher.LauncherHelper$FXHelper.main(LauncherHelper.java:767) Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: No toolkit found at com.sun.javafx.tk.Toolkit.getToolkit(Toolkit.java:217) at com.sun.javafx.application.PlatformImpl.startup(PlatformImpl.java:209) at com.sun.javafx.application.LauncherImpl.startToolkit(LauncherImpl.java:675) at com.sun.javafx.application.LauncherImpl.launchApplicationWithArgs(LauncherImpl.java:337) at com.sun.javafx.application.LauncherImpl.launchApplication(LauncherImpl.java:328) ... 5 more
As the above information was not very helpful, we executed the jar again using the -Dprism.verbose=true
directive to get more information from the error.

From the new log, we could see that the application was trying to load some .so
(libprism_es2.so
and libprism_sw.so
) files that were not available in LD_LIBRARY_PATH
.
We used find
, to locate them:
find / -name "libprism_es2.so" 2>/dev/null;
Then we updated the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
variable to include the new path
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/idea-IC/jre64/lib/amd64/; java -jar hello.jar;
Note: Here we used the copies that were available in our IntelliJ IDEA installation.
It is not recommended as you need to deploy them per machine, but in our case it was OK as the development machine was the actual machine to use the tool as well.
