I have a Maven Project which was written using Java 8. If I try to run it in Intelliji using SDK 17 everything is red and it doesn't work at all. If I use Java 8 however it works. Why doesn't it work with SDK 17? It should be compatible. Errors in my Code

Answer 1

Those errors are JavaFX related, not Java in general. JavaFX has never been a standard part of Java SE.

You need to either:

Add an implementation of JavaFX to your project. Add dependencies to your project for the OpenJFX library. That code base for that implementation is housed as a subproject on the OpenJDK site, and is co-led by Gluon and Oracle.
Use a Java implementation that includes the OpenJFX library. At least two vendors offer an edition of their JDK product with OpenJFX: ZuluFX by Azul Systems, and LibericaFX by BellSoft.
