How to load FXML file which is out of *.jar file

this is my first post on Stack, I was looking for answer on my question, but I haven't found anything useful. I'm learning Java, so be gentle ;)

My problem is, that I don't want to make One file with everything in "jar". I must load FXML file, which is out of *.jar file. For example: I'm making FXML file which is in my JavaFXMLApplication folder, I run "JavaFXApplication.jar" file and this Application use FXML which I just made.

I hope I describe it clearly :)

EDIT: I have found another solution, which works better for me...

    File file = new File("absolutPathToFile\\FXMLDocument.fxml");
    InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(file));

    Pane root = new Pane();

    FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader();
    try
    {
        root = loader.load(is);

    }
    catch (IOException ex)
    {
        System.out.println(ex);
    }

I hope it will help someone

Cheers :)

You can load FXML files from anywhere. One possibility is to use the load command which takes an URL as an argument. You can get that URL easily like this:

    try {
        File file = new File("../../FXMLDocument.fxml");
        if (file.canRead()) {
            URL url = file.toURI().toURL();
            Pane root = FXMLLoader.load(url);
        } else {
            System.err.println("File does not exist.");
        }
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
