Cindy can not load the TicketSystem demo that comes with the nightly bundle on her system.
But she can open some of the other demo of the same bundle.
I didn't manage to reproduce on a similar Windows XP system.
What looks strange if you look at the capture she's provided is the FXML file path; after "WARNING: Failed to load" you find the FXML file path and it ends like this "TicketSystem.fxml\?]?*", double quotes excluded.
Characters after the .fxml are heavily suspicious.
I paste below my exchanges with Cindy that provide the whole context.


Hi Yves,

Yes, I am able to run the Login.fxml and Profile.fxml demos. But I am having the same "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: FXML file doesn't exist" problem with the FileSystem.fxml demo appas I did for the TicketSystem/fxml demo app

I checked but I do not have the C:\Documents and Settings\cmcastil\Application Data\JavaFX Visual Tool directory. I had installed VisualTool by unzipping the the nightly builds 381 and 383 VisualTool-1.0.zip that I got from the nightly builds at http://athudson.sfbay.sun.com:8080/hudson/job/AuthoringTool-nightly/

Hope the above helps. Let me know if there is anything else I should try differently. Going to sleep now...

Thanks,
Cindy
