Cause (Documented platform behavior): JavaFX is separate (OpenJFX) since JDK 11; the launcher checks for its runtime components.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Launcher-message derived; JavaFX unbundling (JDK 11) is general knowledge not cited from a fetched doc.
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [Java 11+] 'Error: JavaFX runtime components are missing, and are required to run this application' — JavaFX is no longer bundled with the JDK; add OpenJFX modules to module path or laun
Recommended action: Add OpenJFX (org.openjfx modules via Maven/Gradle javafx plugin) and run with --module-path <javafx-sdk/lib> --add-modules javafx.controls,..., or use a JDK distribution bundling JavaFX.
