Ok, I need to be more specific vis-a-vis my last reply. Initially, when I
created the src/main/resources sub-folder and put my image.jpg in that
directory, Maven copied it the .jpg file to the "target/classes" directory
instead of "target/classes/org/openjfx/${package} where all the class files
reside. In contrast, for the "FXML JavaFX Archetype (Gluon)" template, Maven
copies the content of the "src/main/resources" to
"target/classes/org/openjfx/${package} and the runtime can load the file.
I hope this clarifies the ambiguity in the last reply.

I have done that (making a "resources" sub-folder under the src/main) but Maven
does not copy its content to the "target" subtree. Not sure why?

I'm confused. Why don't you create the resources directory,
.../src/main/resources/ and move the files to there and be done with the
problem?
You do not seem to have a maven compliant file layout. Why not make it
compliant and be done with this whole issue of manually copying files
around?
