JavaFX java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException when launching textbook file-CodePudding

Ive brought my textbook example into eclipse in a new JavaFX project. Code, error and other screenshots can be found at the bottom. What follows is a list of things ive tried:

I have --module-path "C:\Program Files\Java\javafx-sdk-18.0.1\lib" --add-modules javafx.controls,javafx.fxml in my run configurations.

I have added all of the .jars into a library titled "JAVAFX" that is in the build path

I have gone into that library and added the location of src.zip as well as downloaded the javadocs from the website and added those locations as well.

I do not know what else to do, please help.

Code:

DrawLines.java:

package application;
    
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.scene.Parent;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class DrawLines extends Application {
   @Override
   public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
      // loads DrawLines.fxml and configures the DrawLinesController
      Parent root = 
         FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("Drawlines.fxml"));

      Scene scene = new Scene(root); // attach scene graph to scene
      stage.setTitle("Draw Lines"); // displayed in window's title bar
      stage.setScene(scene); // attach scene to stage
      stage.show(); // display the stage
   }

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      launch(args); // create a DrawLines object and call its start method
   }
}

DrawLinesController.java

 package application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.fxml.FXML;
import javafx.scene.canvas.Canvas;
import javafx.scene.canvas.GraphicsContext;

public class DrawLinesController {

    @FXML
    private Canvas canvas;

    @FXML
    void drawLinesButtonPressed(ActionEvent event) {
        
    GraphicsContext gc = canvas.getGraphicsContext2D();

    gc.strokeLine(0, 0, canvas.getWidth(), canvas.getHeight());


    gc.strokeLine( canvas.getWidth(), 0,0, canvas.getHeight());
    }
}

Drawlines.FXML

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<?import javafx.scene.canvas.Canvas?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.Button?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.ToolBar?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane?>

Exception running application application.DrawLines

CodePudding user response：

The fx:controller reference needs to be a fully qualified name (including the package).

Change:

fx:controller="DrawLinesController"

to:

fx:controller="application.DrawLinesController"
