LoadException with FXML created with Scene Builder 2.0 - javafx-8

Question

I got a problem that i absolutly cant solve on my own because i have just started using JAVA FX. I get a nasty javafx.fxml.LoadException: , but i have done exactly like a guide (http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/scenebuilder/1/get_started/jsbpub-get_started.htm), but i cant get my Main to run. This is the console:
