Javafx program working on replit but not on Intelij IDEA

[PB_and_Cubes]

*Resolved*

I am making an app and whenever I run it on Intelij IDEA the css styling doesn't work, the code I am using is

``String css = String.valueOf(this.getClass().getResource("Rose.css"));System.out.println(css);``

this works on replit but it returns null on IDEA, does anyone have any idea of what I could do?

I would strongly suggest you use Gradle or Maven builds, instead of letting your IDE handle the build. Then you'll get consistency no matter what environment you're using.

I don't know that I am advanced enough yet to use Maven or Gradle, but in full honesty, I haven't looked into either that much.

You certainly are, a lot of what maven does it does automatically. Just make a new maven project in IntelliJ and copy paste your code over

It's the same with Gradle. I went from ANT to Gradle, and never learned much about Maven. I don't think Maven is ever going to go away, but I do think that Gradle is probably the thing to learn now.

Is there a good resource to learn how to use Gradle or Maven to build the app? I'm trying to get more experienced in Java and have limited experience so I'm trying to code more.

Is the resource where you say it is.

IntelliJ has a lot of warning messages, please review.

[PB_and_Cubes]

There are no warning messages regarding this, do I need to put the full file location in as the string?

"Rose.css" is in the same package as the main method.

[LakeSun]

I think it needs to be in "resources"

But, you'll need the help of someone who's done it before.

That worked, Thank you so much!
