java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: /home/user/java/8.0.181-oracle/jre/lib/jfxrt.jar while executing scala program using `sbt runMain`

I'm trying to run a program from SBT using sbt runMain command. But I'm getting below error -

Also I couldn't find jfxrt.jar file anywhere within jdk folder.

This command return no results.

I believe the problem lies with the directory structure of the Java JRE. Clearly, your jfxrt.jar is not where your program thinks it is, and this is because in Java 8 this jar is in the java/<version>/jre/lib/ext/ directory as opposed to java/<version>/jre/lib/ which is where your program is looking for it as it seems from the stack trace. One sort of hacky way of fixing this would be to copy your jfxrt.jar to the java/<version>/jre/lib/ directory so it would find the file properly.

There may exist a more stable/safe solution for this, but until I (or someone else) finds this way, I would do this. Leave a comment if you have a question and I'll do my best to answer it. Hope this helps!

EDIT: I was searching around SO, and it appears that this question should also maybe help with getting the path set correctly.
