Scene.getStylesheets().add() not working inside jar file

Question

As long as I run my project directly from Eclipse, I have no problem with that:

scene.getStylesheets().add(getClass().getResource("/stylesheet.css").toExternalForm());

But as soon as I run this code inside of a jar file, the resource is not found (NullPointerException).

I tried moving the css file to my src folder and then only stylesheet.cssas path instead of /stylesheet.css, but this leads to the same problem: Works fine using Eclipse, but not from the jar.

Hint: I am using Zonskis Maven JavaFX Plugin for generating the jar.

Answer 1

I just wasted my (your) time writing silly maven profiles.

instead of :

scene.getStylesheets().add(getClass().getResource("/stylesheet.css").toExternalForm());

simply write :

scene.getStylesheets().add("stylesheet.css");

This is how Zonski load css files.

Of course your stylesheet.css file should be in /src/main/resources, or somewhere on the CLASSPATH.
