JavaFX - Exception in Application [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:
How do I determine the correct path for FXML files, CSS files, Images, and other resources needed by my JavaFX Application?
(1 answer)
Closed 2 years ago.
I am trying to create a JavaFX program, and every time I try to run my code I am getting an exception - I'm not entirely sure what it means though ...
My code:
package com.PickingList.ui;
import java.io.IOException;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.scene.Parent;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class Main extends Application {
private Stage stage;
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws IOException {
Scene scene;
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(this.getClass().getResource("./TelaLogin.fxml"));
Parent root = loader.load();
stage.setScene(new Scene(root));
stage.setTitle("Login");
stage.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
I'm using Eclipse to create the project, and I'm getting the following error:

Try:
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(this.getClass().getResource("/TelaLogin.fxml"));
Assuming that, your folder structure looks like:
/src/TelaLogin.fxml

Error Switch scenes in Scene Builder (JavaFx)

I'm trying to do a graphic interface for an university activity using Scene builder. I need to switch the window when pressed the button so I created a function that changes the window when the button is pressed and included this action on the button by SceneBuilder and it worked, but when I tried to do the same thing for a button on the new window I got this error:

Exception running application tp1.Tp1
Java Result: 1
than I tried to remove the Action from this button and the code compiled so the error probably is on the action but I have no idea how to solve, could anyone help me?
The function to switch the window:
private void BTADDCLIENTEAction(ActionEvent event) throws IOException {
Parent main_parent = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("addCliente.fxml"));
Scene ClienteScene = new Scene(main_parent);
Stage mainStage = (Stage) ((Node) event.getSource()).getScene().getWindow();
mainStage.setScene(ClienteScene);
mainStage.show();
}

JavaFX FXMLLoader Exception in cmd

I'm working on a mp3 player which is using a JavaFX UI. When I start the application in NetBeans, it works fine. But when I create an executable jar with Clean and Build and start it with the cmd, I get an exception where the FXMLLoader loads the fxml file.
There must be a problem with the paths, right?

Exception running application jornsfx.JornsFX

I can't tell you for certain, but it looks like
getClass().getResource("/views/jornsFX.fxml")
in your start() method is null. The exception suggests it and also the file is named /views/JornsFX.fxml in the screenshot.

JavaFX FXMLLoader 'Location is Required' in JAR file only

I have a working JavaFX application, which runs in Intellij. However, i'm trying to run the application as a Jar file, but I get a NullPointerException saying the location is required.
I've looked at every thread regarding this issue, but none of the solutions seem to work.

Exception running application systems.biology.laboratory.Main
Snippet of the directory:
This is the method i'm using to call the FXMLLoader
private void initialSetup(Stage primaryStage) throws java.io.IOException {
Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("/fxml/comparisonViewer.fxml"));
//Parent root = loader.load();
primaryStage.setTitle("Peak Viewer");
scene = new Scene(root, 1500, 850);
primaryStage.setMaximized(true);
//scene.getStylesheets().add("/static/css/bootstrap3.css");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.getIcons().add(new Image(Main.class.getResourceAsStream("/static/images/peak.png")));
primaryStage.show();
controller = new ViewerController();
controller.setStage(primaryStage);
}
Since it works fine in intellij, but not in the jar. Do I need to specify something else?

How to get resource file with maven project and javafx

Here's my structure:
stupid stack overflow won't let me post this image
In my main class I'm calling this:
public class Main extends Application {
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("Form.fxml"));
primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World");
primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root));
primaryStage.setResizable(false);
primaryStage.show();
}
}
But this gets a huge error in return:

Exception running application Main
I really don't know what I could be doing wrong, since my FXML file is inside of my resources folder, and my Main.class is inside of my java package. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the project being a maven project, but I'm not sure what it could be. Please help me figure this out, I've looked online for solutions already and no one seems to do maven+fxml projects.

Try "/Form.fxml". See the Java Class API.

What Jonathan Rosenne says is essentially true, if you try getResource("/Form.fxml"), it should work. This is because Class.getResource uses a package-relative path, not an absolute path. The code that you have right now would work if Form.fxml was in located at resources/<packages>/Form.fxml, for example.
Another option is to use getClass().getClassLoader().getResource, which always assumes an absolute path.
There's already a StackOverflow thread about the differences between these two methods.

Try below:
URL formUrl = Main.class.getClassLoader().getResource("Form.fxml");
Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(formUrl );
