Unable to load FXML when placed in a package

Question

I got this type of file hierarchy in JavaFXApplication5 project. enter image description here

Ive made another package for all the fxml files, so when project gets big it will be easier to find certain files.

Now in JavaFXApplication5 main class I have a line which Im sure causes an exception(java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException) when application is trying to run.

AnchorPane root = (AnchorPane) FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("FXMLNew.fxml"));

Im sure its because the "FXMLNew.fxml" root is wrong. But I dont know how to set it when is in another package...?

Or maybe these type of files should be put in normal folder?

There is no issue in placing your fxml files in another package — ItachiUchiha, Jan 26 '15 at 18:47
I tryed `AnchorPane root = (AnchorPane) FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("windows/FXMLNew.fxml"));` but it doesnt work — Tomasz Mularczyk, Jan 26 '15 at 18:51
Try an extra `/`. Something like this `getClass().getResource("/windows/FXMLNew.fxml")` — ItachiUchiha, Jan 26 '15 at 19:00

To load a fxml which is inside a package, use /package-name/fxml-file-name.fxml

For your case:

AnchorPane root = (AnchorPane)FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("/windows/FXMLNew.fxml"));
