This is the first thing I've done with JavaFX but I keep getting the same error, even though the code is identical to what I've seen online and in lectures.

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class HelloWorld2 extends Application {

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        primaryStage.setTitle("My first app");
        primaryStage.show();
    }

    /**
     * @param args
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        Application.launch(args);

    }

}

It never works because I keep getting this error so I'm not sure if it's something to do with how I added the libraries, even though there are no errors when building the actual class.

I removed the package name from the error because it's linked to my university. Any help would be much appreciated.
