So i was working on an little javafx programm and restructured some of my directories and now i am stuck with an problem i cant seem to be able to wrap my head around. When executing my programm i get this error:

javafx.fxml.LoadException:

When looking into it I found that the fxml file that is causing it only gives an error inside the build folder. Looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<?import javafx.geometry.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.effect.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.image.Image?>
<?import javafx.scene.image.ImageView?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.*?>
<BorderPane maxHeight="-Infinity" maxWidth="-Infinity" minHeight="-Infinity" minWidth="-Infinity" prefHeight="471.0" prefWidth="600.0" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8.0.111" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1" fx:controller="main.Scenes.LibraryScene.LibrarySceneController">
< some javafx definitions...>

I am not quite sure what exaclty the xmlns="path" part of the borderpane does but it cant seem to find the URI of it when its in the build directory.

Any ideas of potential causes ? I am happy to provide more information on the project structure if that would help.

  • "Any ideas of potential causes ?": The [stack trace](https://stackoverflow.com/q/3988788/2775450) says "*Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at main.Scenes.LibraryScene.LibrarySceneController.(LibrarySceneController.java:19)*", which would seem to be directly answering the question you are asking. – James_D Jul 09 '17 at 13:21
  • oh wow yea you are right, thanks a lot. I didnt look through the stacktrace enough it seems. I guess i didnt just restructured things. – Trettig Jul 09 '17 at 14:40
