Issue
I am literally desperate. I don’t know why but every time I try to run my program this error comes out. I am using Netbeans, with Java 10.0.2 in order to have already installed JavaFX. I think it’s due to some problem with the FXML file. Can you help me?

Solution
Just to mark this as answered: See @James_D' comment for the solution.
Replace <fx:root> in the FXML file with <AnchorPane> or set the root on the FXMLLoader before calling load() for example like this:
FXMLLoader fxmlLoader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("FXMLDocument.fxml"));
fxmlLoader.setRoot(new AnchorPane());
Parent root = fxmlLoader.load();
