[FIXED] How to load css file in javafx8

Issue

This code is not working in javafx 8

  scene.getStylesheets().add("appCssFile.css");

I get the Exception

Mar 25, 2014 12:21:20 PM com.sun.javafx.css.parser.CSSParser reportException
WARNING: Please report java.lang.NumberFormatException at:
Mar 25, 2014 12:21:20 PM com.sun.javafx.css.StyleManager loadStylesheetUnPrivileged
WARNING: Resource "appCssFile.css" not found. 

How can I load the css ?

Solution

You need an URL and call toExternalForm in order to load a css file into your project.
Use the ClassLoader for that:

scene.getStylesheets().add(getClass().getResource("/style.css").toExternalForm());
