How do I load my webview client using JavaFX?

Question

I have a problem loading my webview client on a javaFX application. The problem came when it says "Exception running application application.Main". Currently running using my SDK-11.02 and my file path is "C:\Fx\javafx-sdk-11.0.2\lib".

My VM Arguments:

--module-path "C:\Fx\javafx-sdk-11.0.2\lib" --add-modules javafx.controls,javafx.fxml,javafx.base --add-exports javafx.graphics/com.sun.javafx.sg.prism=ALL-UNNAMED

My Main Class:

package application;
    
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.scene.web.WebView;


public class Main extends Application {
    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        try {
            
            primaryStage.setTitle("JavaFX WebView Example");

            WebView webView = new WebView();

            webView.getEngine().load("https://eservices.police.gov.sg/content/policehubhome/homepage/police-report.html");

            BorderPane root = new BorderPane(webView);
            Scene scene = new Scene(root,400,400);
            scene.getStylesheets().add(getClass().getResource("application.css").toExternalForm());
            primaryStage.setScene(scene);
            primaryStage.show();
        } catch(Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }
    
}

My Print StackTrace:

I seriously feel frustrated over a simple no brain problem. Please can somebody solve this for me? I will appreciate any kind soul to sort this problem out.

You're missing `javafx.web` from the `add-modules` option, though I'm not sure if that's the only issue. — James_D, Jul 07 '20 at 21:46
@James_D Bro thank you so much for solving this problem buddy. It's just that one missing ingredient for my gui to work. — Big_Smoke, Jul 08 '20 at 04:00
@James_D I suggest either of you make an Answer of those comments, to be accepted and mark this as resolved. — Basil Bourque, Jul 08 '20 at 04:19
@BasilBourque I was thinking the same as well. Glad you reminded him — Big_Smoke, Jul 08 '20 at 04:24
@Big_Smoke If he does not post an Answer, know that you are welcome/encouraged on Stack Overflow to post and accept your own Answer to your own Question. — Basil Bourque, Jul 08 '20 at 04:33
