Answer 1

I've found the answer..

the resource need to be in the same folder structure as main class

Here is my Maven-JavaFX Folder structure

VMCS
- src/main/java
     - com.utmkl
          VMCSManager.java
- src/main/resources
     - com.utmkl.fxml
          SimulatorDisplay.fxml

So, the correct code (which success to run)

VMCSManager.java

@Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
        try {
            FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader();
            loader.setLocation(getClass().getResource("fxml/SimulatorDisplay.fxml"));
            Parent content = loader.load(); 

            Scene scene = new Scene(content);

            primaryStage.setResizable(false);
            primaryStage.initStyle(StageStyle.UTILITY);

            primaryStage.setScene(scene);
            primaryStage.show();            
        } catch(Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
