FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
Newest jdk-9.

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When we add the children into the FXML file then it needs id of an element whether it will be used by developer or not.
For eg:
 <children>
               <fx:include fx:id="notepadPlus" source="NotepadPlus.fxml" AnchorPane.bottomAnchor="0.0" AnchorPane.leftAnchor="0.0" AnchorPane.rightAnchor="0.0" AnchorPane.topAnchor="0.0" />
           </children>

/* without fx:id the code generates error*/

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 9.0.4

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Create FXML file that include another FXML layout.
2. <children>
               <fx:include source="NotepadPlus.fxml" />
           </children>
3. Include above code.
4. source represents another FXML file.
