JavaFX java.lang.IllegalStateException: Location is not set

I'm trying to run my main JavaFX app:

@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
  try {
    FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader();
    loader.setLocation(getClass().getResource("/com/utmkl/fxml/SimulatorDisplay.fxml"));
    Parent content = (Parent)loader.load();

    primaryStage.setResizable(false);
    primaryStage.initStyle(StageStyle.UTILITY);
    primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(content));
    primaryStage.show();

  } catch(Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
  }

This is my folder structure:

Below is the error:

Try loading the resource through the class loader, i.e. instead of class.getResource() use class.getClassLoader().getResource()

I've found the answer..

the resource need to be in the same folder structure as main class

Here is my Maven-JavaFX Folder structure

VMCS
- src/main/java
     - com.utmkl
          VMCSManager.java
- src/main/resources
     - com.utmkl.fxml
          SimulatorDisplay.fxml

So, the correct code (which success to run)

VMCSManager.java

@Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
        try {
            FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader();
            loader.setLocation(getClass().getResource("fxml/SimulatorDisplay.fxml"));
            Parent content = loader.load(); 

            Scene scene = new Scene(content);

            primaryStage.setResizable(false);
            primaryStage.initStyle(StageStyle.UTILITY);

            primaryStage.setScene(scene);
            primaryStage.show();            
        } catch(Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

Even though you do set a location with loader.setLocation(getClass().getResource("/com/utmkl/fxml/ControllerDisplay.fxml")); it is likely that the resource URL doesn't actually refer to an existing resource on the classpath.

If you add System.out.println(getClass().getResource("/com/utmkl/fxml/ControllerDisplay.fxml")); to your code I think it will print null as a result.
