    Question JavaFX Coding problems

    Hi,

    The code snippet below is a simple program to play an audio song file. The MP3 file is located in the same folder as this code. It compiles without any errors. But when I run the code it gives me two "java.lang.IllegalStateException: Toolkit not initialized" exceptions. Below is full output of excepetion error:

    Exception in thread "Thread-0" java.lang.IllegalStateException: Toolkit not initialized
    at com.sun.javafx.application.PlatformImpl.runLater(U nknown Source)
    at com.sun.javafx.application.PlatformImpl.runLater(U nknown Source)

    at javafx.scene.media.MediaPlayer.init(Unknown Source)
    at javafx.scene.media.MediaPlayer.<init>(Unknown Source)

    //import necessary packages
    import javafx.scene.media.Media;
    import javafx.scene.media.MediaPlayer;
    import java.io.*;
     
    public class PlaySong 
    {
    	public static void main(String args[])
    	{
    		String song = new File("song.mp3").toURI().toString();
    		Media audio =null;
    		audio = new Media(song);
    		MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(audio);
    		mediaPlayer.play();
    	}
    }

    Can anyone identify the problem? Iv'e been looking everywhere for solutions, no luck.

    Thanks and much appreciated.

    Apparently JavaFX initialization won't automatically get triggered by running MediaPlayer.

    Try instantiating JFXPanel in your code:
    JFXPanel fxPanel = new JFXPanel();
