Description RuThaNiel van den Naar 2019-04-16 12:24:28 UTC 
Hello,
i wonder why in Jmeter 5.0 on Windows Server 2016 is not available View Results Tree Browser view option, on all other my Windows 7 / Windows 10 machines its working fine.

  I tried same Java version, install some browsers etc.. Its not avaible, i didnt find some any information about this in documentation, or online.

Have you looked in the log panel for errors?

Most likely it is not the same Java version that you are using. The Browser View uses JavaFX, which is available -- by default -- only in Oracle Java 8.

Right after plain Jmeter start without opening any test plan there is this error:

Java is 11:
java version "11.0.2" 2019-01-15 LTS
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11.0.2+9-LTS)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.2+9-LTS, mixed mode)

You are right i though that on local machine i was using same version, but im using Java 8:

C:\Users\RuThaN>java -version
java version "1.8.0_191"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_191-b12)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.191-b12, mixed mode)

  So its bug, i have to downgraded Java?
Comment 3 Felix Schumacher 2019-04-16 16:41:07 UTC 
You either have to downgrade to a Oracle Java -- which includes JavaFX, or you try to integrate JavaFX into a newer Java version. openjfx.io claims to have JavaFX versions for newer Java versions.

If you get it to work, it would be nice, if you could do a write up of the steps necessary.

After downgrade of Java to 8, its working.
