JavaFX does not work with IntelliJ (jdk 9)

JavaFX is not working for me using IntelliJ. While it does compile, I get an Exception when trying to launch. I've found similar issues here, none of which seemed to hold an answer to my problem. The Exception I get is the following:

The code required to cause this Exception is only the following:

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

public class Test extends Application
{

@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception
{

}

public static void main(String... args)
{
Application.launch(Test.class, args);
}
}


Furthermore, running code form old Eclipse projects using Eclipse is working. However, if I copy the code over to IntelliJ, I get the same Exception.
I do use the java 9 jdk in the project settings.

Try changing your Main to:

public static void main(String args)
{
launch(args);
}
