JavaFX Maven Exception in Application start method

So I’ve been stuck with this problem for a few days now. I found and read a lot of posts here on stackoverflow and other sites, but none of the solutions worked for me. I have a problem with my JavaFX in my maven project. I use java 15 and JavaFX 15.0.1. Here are files that I have in my project: The pom.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

            <version>15.0.1</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>


</project>

Here is my Main.java class:

package main;

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.scene.Parent;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class Main extends Application {

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception{
        Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("src/main/java/resources/mainH/view.fxml"));
        primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World");
        primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root, 300, 275));
        primaryStage.show();
    }


    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }
}

Here is the view.fxml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<?import javafx.scene.control.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.*?>


<AnchorPane prefHeight="400.0" prefWidth="600.0" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/11.0.1" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1" fx:controller="controllers.controller">
   <children>
      <Pane layoutX="200.0" layoutY="100.0" prefHeight="200.0" prefWidth="200.0">
         <children>
            <Button layoutX="74.0" layoutY="100.0" mnemonicParsing="false" text="Button" />
         </children>
      </Pane>
   </children>
</AnchorPane>

Here is the message that pops out when I try to compile my code:

Exception running application main.Main

Most post that I saw with that issue were resolved by changing the directory in getResource() method.I tried that and many other solutions as you can probably see in pom file. I ask you for help in resolving this problem as I have no more ideas on what to do. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you for helping in advance.

Answer

Thanks to a comment from @JoséPereda I found the solution to my problem. The issue was missing JavaFX Maven plugin and missing VM arguments.
