I am using maven to build application and I would like to try out apache pivot for the GUI rendering. However, it looks like most pivot tutorials assume that you are using eclipse. I added 2.0 version in my pom.xml (and tried with 2.0.2 as well), but, I get this error:
[DEBUG] joining on thread Thread[Timer-1,5,com.polyglot.HelloBXML]
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: location is null.

It seems like it is unable to find the BXML file. I had put it in src/main/resources.
I searched the forums and it looks like it is because BXML file is not in the classpath. I tried with target/classes, but still no avail. Can somebody guide me what is the correct location of the BXML file?
The solution to put it in the classpath was correct. I copied it in src/main/resources/{my package path} and it works. My mistake was I was putting it in src/main/resources directly.
