Unable to create FXMLLoader controller reference: 'no suitable constructor'

Question

Greetings,
I am in my first couple of days experimenting with JavaFX.
I am trying to create a reference to my controller class from within my application start routine. All the posts that I have seen on this call for code such as the following:
FXMLLoader fxmlLoader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("MyFXML.fxml")); But in my NetBeans IDE editor this code signals the error 'no suitable constructor found for FXMLLoader(java.net.URL)'
The FXMLLoader Class documentation clearly includes a FXMLLoader(java.net.URL) constructor. However, when I navigate to the source code from NetBeans, this constructor doesn't show: the only options are FXMLLoader() and FXMLLoader(Charset arg0).
I am using NetBeans 7.1.2 ee version. I was using JavaFX 2.0, then downloaded the JavaFX 2.2 SDK (beta) to see if this would make a difference -- it hasn't.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Hi,
My guess would be that NetBeans is still picking up the JavaFX 2.0 jars instead of JavaFX 2.2
I would suggest playing with your project's properties: look at the library dependencies, and at the platform.
If it's using a Default_JavaFX_Platform then check where it picks up JavaFX (click on "manage platform" and look in the JavaFX tab).
Sometimes NetBeans is confused and will pick up the SDK 2.2 with the runtime 2.0 - so really check all the paths!
Hopes this helps,
