How To Add New fxml to Controller

Question

I have 2 .fxml files (FXMLDocument.fxml/login.fxml) and one controller file (FXMLDocumentController). I want to remove FXMLDocument.fxml from the controller and add login.fxml to the contoller.

When I call the main method, I want get prompted with the login form instead of FXMLDocument.fxml.

Any idea what is happening?

PS: login.fxml is created using SceneBuilder.

You don't have to use the default FXML file generated by your IDE. Here is a basic controller that will use login.fxml:

public class LoginController {

    public LoginController(){
        try {
            FXMLLoader fxmlLoader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("login.fxml"));
            fxmlLoader.setController(this);
            fxmlLoader.load();
        } catch (IOException exception) {
            System.out.println("Error loading content.");
            System.exit(0);
        }
    }

}

Note the line with FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("login.fxml")). This is how you add an FXML file to a controller.
