@FXML public void slowerButton(ActionEvent event) {mp.setRate(0.5);}
@FXML public void exitButton(ActionEvent event) {Platform.exit();}
}

The path seems alright and i can't figure there's anything wrong with my controller source let me know if anyone want to see the source. How can i fix this unknown Exception ?

Several things to keep in mind

Java version is

openjdk version "1.8.0_151"

OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_151-8u151-b12-0ubuntu0.17.10.2-b12)

OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.151-b12, mixed mode)

I'm using Netbeans IDE with all javafx plugins installed.

@StabCode Thank you for commenting! I did what that link told me to do and it did sort the GTk warning. However exception is still there. — TroubleShooter, Mar 10 '18 at 08:24
Questions seeking debugging help ("why isn't this code working?") must include the desired behavior, a specific problem or error and the shortest code necessary to reproduce it in the question itself. Questions without a clear problem statement are not useful to other readers. See: How to create a [mcve] — Jim Garrison, Mar 10 '18 at 08:42

Sorted this out by installing Java 9.0.4 and Intellij IDE. Netbeans 8.2 isn't compatible with java 9. The code was all right.

UPDATED CODE

The controller source has been updated to make it compatible with java9. For some reason java.nio.file.Paths; isn't working with the latest java.
