trying to play an mp3 file in bluej and toolbox isn't initializing (on a mac)

Question

this is my code, its meant to play an mp3 file which I put in my bluej folder, im really stumped with the toolbox error though.

import javafx.scene.media.Media;
import javafx.scene.media.MediaPlayer;
import java.io.File;
import java.net.URI;
import java.net.URL;
public class JavaAudioPlaySoundExample2
{
  public static void main(String[] args) {
   try {
   System.out.print("pls work");   
   String bip = "Mattashi8bit.mp3";
   Media hit = new Media(new File(bip).toURI().toURL().toString());
   MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(hit);
   mediaPlayer.play();
  } catch (Exception e) {

  }

  }

}

this is the full error

Exception in thread "Thread-29" java.lang.IllegalStateException: Toolkit not initialized

I would be really grateful if someone could fix me how to fix the code

it says my code is abstract so it can't override the start() method, when i make it an abstract class it still doesn't work — Katelyn Sowden, May 01 '17 at 17:16
