I am trying to create a very simple VBox
with a black background. Thats all. Nothing else. I am using FXML
to describe my VBox
.
sample.fxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.VBox?>
<VBox xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml" fx:controller="sample.Controller" alignment="CENTER" background="#000000ff">
</VBox>
Controller.java:
package sample;
public class Controller {
// No code written. Not required.
}
Main.java:
package sample;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.scene.Parent;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
/* Code auto generated by IDEA IDE. */
public class Main extends Application {
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception{
Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("sample.fxml"));
primaryStage.setTitle("Adi's login app");
primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root, 300, 275));
primaryStage.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
I am using IDEA IntelliJ
IDE. And I am getting the following error:

Why is this happening? Please let me know if I am making any mistake or if I am missing out anything.
Is nothing to do with Intellij, I also had this issue. I was compiling with Java 1.8, I changed to 1.7 and works.
