can anyone help me? thanks

By reading the error log `Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Location is not set.` it looks like there is an error with your file path. After a quick google search, I came across this [post](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17228487/javafx-location-is-not-set-error-message).I'd suggest going through that post first and then update as to whether or not you were able to solver your issue. — rze, Oct 27 '15 at 19:13
My problem is when I deploy the application to exe using ant , when I compile in eclipse it works — user3576248, Oct 28 '15 at 12:11

after many attempts I finally succeeded, the error was in loader.setLocation (MainApp.class.getResource ("view / RootLayout.fxml")); RootLayout.fxml see that is not the real name real name is rootLayout.fxml repairing the uppercase character was solved my problem
