How to convert JavaFX project to Maven correctly?
I wrote JavaFx project in Eclipse IDE, it worked correctly.
Once I converted it into Maven project, my FMXL files stopped opening. However, if I create new FXML files and put them in the same folders, everything works.
Is there any way to run my Maven project without recreating all my FXML files?
I've already tried changing paths to my FXML files in code, moving FXMLs to src/main/resources package or simply copying the code from old FXMLs to the new ones, but nothing worked.
All FXMLs I created in SceneBuilder and haven't changed the version of this program throughout the process.
I'm loading my FXMLs using the following method:
private void showMainPage() throws IOException {
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader();
loader.setLocation(Main.class.getResource("view/MainView.fxml"));
mainLayout = loader.load();
Scene scene = new Scene(mainLayout);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}

Solution 1:
This is unrelated to Maven, it is an access error caused by incorrect configuration of the Java module system for your application.
The error message tells you what is wrong:
module rslFxNewMaven does not "opens reselection.view" to module javafx.fxml
Study -> java modules.
Add the following line to your module-info.java:
opens reselection.view to javafx.fxml;
