I've been going through a tutorial to try and learn more about JavaFX while working with scenebuilder, and plan on practicing writing methods by adding more to it. However, while I've found plenty of people have found the same issue as I have, none of their fixes seem to work.
Code:
package login;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.scene.Parent;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import java.io.IOException;
public class Main extends Application {
private static Stage stg;
@Override
//This method initializes the login page
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
stg = primaryStage;
primaryStage.setResizable(false);
Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("C:\\Users\\user\\OneDrive\\Desktop\\Java Projects\\Eclipse Login\\src\\login"));
primaryStage.setTitle("Pantry");
primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root, 600, 400));
primaryStage.show();
}
//This method will change the scene to the next page after logging in
public void changeScene(String fxml) throws IOException{
Parent pane = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource(fxml));
stg.getScene().setRoot(pane);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
Results:

Exception running application login.Main
After reading around, I've come to understand this error means that my login.fxml isn't found by the program, which is where I'm stuck. I've not only used the absolute path to it, but it's also located in the same directory as the fxml. Any advice is appreciated, because I'm certain there's something I've missed somewhere.
