I am trying to figure out why I keep getting "Exception in Application start method" errors whenever I try to do Java projects in Eclipse. Every project I create this keeps happening. So I decided to import a project and copy and caste the code to see if it was my code or something else. The imported Java project works fine, however the copied version I built still has the same error as the others. This is the error message from stack trace.
This is the code of the project from the reported error: line 22 is "iChat layout", 31, is " chat layout"
initChatLayout();
private void initChatLayout() {
try {
// Load root layout from fxml file.
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader();
loader.setLocation(ChatClient.class.getResource("view/ClientGUI.fxml"));
loader.setController(new ClientController());
chatLayout = (VBox) loader.load();
