I have never had any experience fixing build-related problems before, so when the Jmonkey Engine decided to produce a build that didn't function like it would run in the compiler, I didn't (and still don't) really know what to do. The Jmonkey Engine runs on top of netbeans, but in this particular game we make use of mostly the Nifty GUI, as there is only one 3D object (the globe).
There are no error messages - the build is "successful", the game runs without errors. The thing is that player cannot move on from the class menu to the Malware Hub, or the place where the game starts. I'll post my build log, the Class Menu, and the Malware Hub.
Even if you don't have any direct experience with Jmonkey, could you explain to me why this would happen and what I might need to do to fix it in general? NOTE: I do not have console knowledge, so any help in that order might need some explaining.
Thanks.
I wish I could provide smaller segments of code that recreate the problem but I don't actually know what the problem is and therefore all I can do is post the two classes. HOWEVER, I will post the part of the code here which you should probably be paying attention to. Check the links if you want a full class, though.

After figuring out how to use a command prompt, I found an "Illegal Argument Exception". It's complaining that the given root path "C:\Users\Dean\Dist\Assets\Interface" is not a directory, however I don't get this in the compiler. What does that even mean? I get this moving from ClassMenu to MalwareHub.
P.S. I register Assets/Interface as a locator for my asset manager in main.
