Where are .fxml files in Maven project with JavaFX dependency?

I'm pretty new to Maven and JavaFX so I'm assuming there's an easy answer, but I haven't been able to find it.

I want to create a GUI for my project, which I have as a maven project in IntelliJ. I was able to get a GUI to function as intended by adding javafx-fxml and javafx-controls. When wanting to try SceneBuilder I realized that the .fxml file was nowhere to be found.

Some sources say to look in the resources folder but that appears to be empty. Another says there is a second src folder(?) but if that's the case I can't find it.

Assume your package name is com.example

Then your Application code is here <project root>\src\main\java\com\example\App.java

Place your FXML here <project root>\src\main\resources\com\example\App.fxml

Load your FXML using Java code

Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("App.fxml"));
Scene scene = new Scene(root);

App.java as well as App.fxml are in the same package, therefore getClass().getResource("App.fxml") works fine
