Assets fail to load in a multi-module project

Hi, I run into the following problem when running the demo based on https://github.com/AlmasB/FXGL/wiki/Adding-Images-and-Sounds :

12:03:59.131 [JavaFX Application Thread] FATAL AssetLoader - Loading failed for asset: drop.wav. Cause: Unrecognized file signature! 12:03:59.131 [JavaFX Application Thread] FATAL GameApplication - Uncaught Exception: 12:03:59.132 [JavaFX Application Thread] FATAL GameApplication -

Exception occurred: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException : Failed to load asset: drop.wav. Cause: Unrecognized file signature! E: com.almasb.fxgl.asset.AssetLoader.loadFailed(AssetLoader.kt:652) E: com.almasb.fxgl.asset.AssetLoader.loadSound(AssetLoader.kt:216) E: com.almasb.fxgl.audio.AudioPlayer.playSound(AudioPlayer.kt:114) E: FXGLBasicGameApp.lambda$0(FXGLBasicGameApp.java:103)

Both drop.wav and brick.png won’t load.

In my project, I leave the demo class file within a maven package. The AssetLoader has trouble looking for my resources folder (let alone the textures and sounds within).

I’ve tried using getResource() to get the relative path

String path = this.getClass().getResource("../../assets/textures/brick.png").toExternalForm();

but AssetLoader doesn’t understand it.

Is there a way to load assets from resources in this case ?

Thanks much for any insight and keep up the good work !
