问题原因

问题出现的原因是因为空指针，也就是getClass().getResource("sample.fxml")这个方法的结果为空

我们可以测试一下，把代码稍微分为两段

如图，如果为空，则输出hello，停止程序
测试结果如下图

分析

上面我们知道了，没有找到该文件，那么，我们把那个fxml布局放在该目录下就可以解决空指针的问题了。
我们先看看改路径是在哪里（使用getResource("")）

结果为

然后我查一下了Maven，因为我们使用了Maven，它会把java文件编译成的class文件默认放在一个名为target的文件夹中.其他的文件就会忽略，不放在target文件夹中

解决方法

解决办法很简单，我们只需要在pom.xml设置，将布局fxml文件放在target文件夹中即可

 <build>
    <resources>
        
        <resource>
            <!-- 这里是放在 src/main/java-->
            <directory>src/main/java</directory>
            <includes>
                <include>**/*.properties</include>
                <include>**/*.fxml</include>
                <include>**/fxml/*.fxml</include>
                <!-- 如果想要弄个包名专门放fxml文件，像上一行这样添加设置 -->
                <!-- 之后，使用getResource("fxml/xx.fxml")这样子 -->
            </includes>
            <filtering>false</filtering>
        </resource>
    </resources>
</build>
