Problem solved: #8 I’m trying to set up a TornadoFx project through IntelliJ plugin but it always shows Unresolved tornadofx and Kotlin not configured. ![2018-05-18%2021-16-12](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/kotlinlang/original/2X/a/a99b019071065047a32c41ec2e5805960c156777.png) ![2018-05-18%2021-14-31](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/kotlinlang/original/2X/5/50f0cea8380cb09185554b6a22893ec567ec7f5d.png) I’ve followed the Github page and set Kotlin api to 1.1, also add `compile 'no.tornado:tornadofx:1.7.14'` to the Gradle file but none seems to work. My environment is elementaryOS(Ubuntu 16.04) and openjdk-8 1.8.0\_171. I’ve tried Oracle’s JDK but nothing changed. Do I miss something or should I report the problem to the author? (Edited typo: Ubuntu 18.04 → 16.04) ---

I highly recommend you to ask the question on slack, as they are very active. ---

From the [TornadoFX README.md](https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx/blob/master/README.md): ```nohighlight Important: TornadoFX is not yet compatible with Java 9/10 ``` It looks like you are using Java 10 which maybe the reason why it doesn’t work ---

Either the image is a bit misleading or @SackCastellon his answer can help you. ---

I noticed that, too. Sorry for the misleading image. It was supposed to show TornadoFx options of creating project. I actually change the version to the system built-in 1.8.0\_171 but that doesn’t seems to work. ---

Did you ask on slack already? ---

I’ll ask it on Slack at home later. I 'm not having my computer around right now. ---

Problem solved by re-importing the project through the `build.gradle` file from the IntelliJ starting page. A “Frameworks Detected” notification will then show up. ![2018-05-19%2023-46-06](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/kotlinlang/original/2X/8/8c1f08c3557e490afbe380871b04fdf814866900.png) Thanks for the suggestion from Slack community. ---

If that is the problem, you can open project explorer using F4 button on project tree and add a facet tornadofx to the module. Usually tornadofx framework detection has some glitches on multi-module builds. ---

Just in case OpenJDK lurkers will hit this topic I want to note that OpenJDK is not bundled with JavaFX and you might get a similar error, `javafx` imports won’t be recognized. If you want to use TornadoFX with OpenJDK (considering that your OS is Ubuntu) there is an [answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/34244308/7598113) on StackOverflow on how to add JavaFX to your OpenJDK. Just install `openjfx` package and then re-add JDK in your project to force IDEA to reload the classes.
