        AnchorPane root = (AnchorPane) loader.load();
        Scene scene = new Scene(root);

    Can you double check to see if root is not null? It is a NullPointerException at the start method and the root could be the one. Look at the documentation here https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/api/javafx/application/Application.html , maybe the example might help – Raf Nov 12 '15 at 23:33
  • it says it's null because he can't load the fxml file evene if i put the corret PATH into "getResource". Just added the FXML file – R.co Nov 12 '15 at 23:35
  • Seems like an issue with loading the .fxml see here it might help you http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13754214/how-to-use-fxmlloader-load-javafx-2 – Raf Nov 12 '15 at 23:38
  • Are you sure that the .fxml file is in the path specified and has the same name? Not likely that it's an issue because you would get a different exception however it's good to check. – ZbyszekKr Nov 12 '15 at 23:41
  • Yes my fxml file is in the same folder than the main.java, i mean : src/application/. However i tried to put "Calculatorview.fxml" without application but it doesn't worked too – R.co Nov 12 '15 at 23:43
  • Can you try replacing getClass().getResource(...) with getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("Calculatorview.fxml"). Keep the .fxml in the same package as main. Just to be sure, it is Calculatorview.fxml not CaculatorView.fxml. – Raf Nov 12 '15 at 23:59
  • So i just did what you asked : Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("Calculatorview.fxml")); but it didn't worked, i tried with ("/application/Calculatorview.fxml") etc.. And yes it's Calculatorview.fxml and not CalculatorView.fxml . – R.co Nov 13 '15 at 00:04
  • Maybe it's launch(args) ? – R.co Nov 13 '15 at 00:10
  • Are you using any IDE (i.e. Eclipse, NetBeans) and any build too (i.e. Maven, Ant)? Or none. The path to .fxml will be different if you are using a build tool – Raf Nov 13 '15 at 00:14
  • I'm using Eclipse And i launch the program with ctrl+F11. I added javafx with e(fx)clipse. That's all – R.co Nov 13 '15 at 00:19
  • It all depends on how your IDE is configured, what is your project structure. It is difficult to give you an exact answer. You need try accessing the .fxml with ("/Caculatorview.fxml") and if that didn't work then move it to resource directory and reference it ("Calculatorview.fxml") only and see what happens. The main problem is the classpath. See the many posts about javafx in here like previous one I commented or this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28266492/location-is-required-exception-when-loading-fxml-file and find the right location for .fxml file. Good luck. – Raf Nov 13 '15 at 00:43
  • I just tried every solutions in the posts you linked but i got the same errors again.. Maybe i'm missing something in the configurations of the project? – R.co Nov 13 '15 at 10:29
  • Find the file `Main.class`. Is the FXML file in the same folder? – James_D Nov 13 '15 at 10:40
  • The file Main.class is in bin/application. The FXML file is in the folder bin/application/view – R.co Nov 13 '15 at 10:53
  • Nowhere in your question have you mentioned a `viee` folder before. You need `getClass().getResource("view/Calculatorview.fxml")` – James_D Nov 13 '15 at 10:57
  • As i said in the comment of your answer, i said i changed the structure to try a new solution but at first time it Calculatorview.fxml was in the same folder than Main.class and i also added getClass().getResource("view/Calculatorview.fxml") – R.co Nov 13 '15 at 11:00
  • I fixed the problem ! :D – R.co Nov 13 '15 at 11:06
  • And I was so disappointed at myself for not being able to answer you correctly that today morning, I setup my system and reproduced the error and fixed it. See my answer, most probably you did something similiar. Programming is all about never giving up :P – Raf Nov 13 '15 at 12:00
  • Thank you alot Raf and James ! It was veru useful for me and it's true, Programing is all about never giving up ! :D – R.co Nov 13 '15 at 12:07

NullPointerException: Location is required

from the line where you are calling FXMLLoader.load(...) indicates that the URL you provided for the FXML file is null: i.e. the path to the resource is incorrect.

getClass().getResource() will search for a resource on the classpath relative to the current class. According to the screen shot you linked, Main is in the package appication and Calculatorview.fxml is in application.view. So you need

Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("view/Calculatorview.fxml"));

Alternatively, you can specify the fxml file relative to the classpath (instead of relative to the current class):

Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("/application/view/Calculatorview.fxml"));

(note the additional leading / compared to your code).

Note, of course, that this path is being searched at runtime, so you need to make sure the fxml file is deployed along with the class files when the code is compiled. In other words, if Main and Calculatorview.fxml are in the package application, somewhere you should have a folder called application containing Main.class (note, class file) and Calculatorview.fxml. This would typically be in a folder called bin or classes, depending on your IDE and its setup (or you will have the application structure in a jar file, if you're building a jar).

  • Show the folder structure for your *compiled* code (i.e, class files and other content of the directories that contain them). – James_D Nov 13 '15 at 10:32

Alright. I tried to setup my environment with Java 1.8 and tried the tutorial from the provided link. Here is what I did.

  1. Installed Elcipse Kepler (Java EE)
  2. Followed instructions here for e(fx)clipse https://www.eclipse.org/efxclipse/install.html
  3. Installed all the libs/jars as shown below

enter image description here

After above, I create a new Java project in the eclipse. I right clicked on the project and created two Source Folders namely

src/main/java 
src/main/resources 

Then I right clicked on the src/main/java and created new package and named it application. Under application I created 4 java classes and copied across the content from the tutorial link. I did modify the package on top of each java file to reflect the application only.

Here are the java classes

package application;

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.scene.Parent;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class App extends Application {

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
        Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("/ui.fxml"));

        primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root));
        primaryStage.show();
    }

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

Controller

 package application;

import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.fxml.FXML;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.text.Text;

public class Controller {

    @FXML
    private Text output;

    private long number1 = 0;
    private String operator = "";
    private boolean start = true;

    private Model model = new Model();

    @FXML
    private void processNumpad(ActionEvent event) {
        if (start) {
            output.setText("");
            start = false;
        }

        String value = ((Button)event.getSource()).getText();
        output.setText(output.getText() + value);
    }

    @FXML
    private void processOperator(ActionEvent event) {
        String value = ((Button)event.getSource()).getText();

        if (!"=".equals(value)) {
            if (!operator.isEmpty())
                return;

            operator = value;
            number1 = Long.parseLong(output.getText());
            output.setText("");
        }
        else {
            if (operator.isEmpty())
                return;

            output.setText(String.valueOf(model.calculate(number1, Long.parseLong(output.getText()), operator)));
            operator = "";
            start = true;
        }
    }
}

Model

package application;

public class Model {

    public long calculate(long number1, long number2, String operator) {
        switch (operator) {
            case "+":
                return number1 + number2;
            case "-":
                return number1 - number2;
            case "*":
                return number1 * number2;
            case "/":
                if (number2 == 0)
                    return 0;

                return number1 / number2;
        }

        System.out.println("Unknown operator - " + operator);
        return 0;
    }
}

and ui.fxml

I had issues with Java source library (reference to JRE) and the jfxrt.jar files. So I did the following

  1. Removed the referenced library
  2. Removed the external jar that was referenced
  3. Right clicked on the project and choose Properties
  4. Choose Java Build Path
  5. Clicked on Add Library on the right side of the window and added JRE System Library as shown below
  6. Added external jar jfxrt.jar

enter image description here

After adding the above, the code was resolved and there were no issues.

Remember, I placed ui.fxml under src/main/resources folder. So when I run the project as Java Application initially, it complained and give me the same exception as you are facing. So I changed the "ui.fxml" to "/ui.fxml" and boom, I saw the calculator.

Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("/ui.fxml"));

See below the screenshot, I hope these steps help.
