I am trying to play with the examples that came with twl. When I run gameUIDemo i get this error:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: url is null
at de.matthiasmann.twl.theme.ThemeManager.createThemeManager(ThemeManager.java:148)
at gameui.GameUIDemo.main(GameUIDemo.java:66)

I have followed all the directions on the wiki under "Setting up your first project"

I am not sure why i am getting url is null because the xml file your example is trying to run is in the same directory as the java i am running.

There are two other files that have errors and they are in the test package (FadeFrame.java and SimpleTest.java), I only mention this because i am not sure if the problems are related.

I am useing netbeans

Thanks in advance for your help I was looking forward to useing twl after i learn it.

Try this to load your theme:

Code:

    @Override
    protected URL getThemeURL() {
        try{
            File themePath = new File("simple.xml");
            return themePath.toURL();
        }catch(MalformedURLException e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return null;
    }

This should work for the moment but is not the intended way to load resources.
I think you need to put your resources into jars (in the classpath) to make the code in the example work.

File.toURL() is deprecated. Use at least File.toURI().toURL()
