Hi Kevin!

The folders are laid out as S(tage) # V(ideo) # . So to start the Pomodoro Project open that s3v1 (Stage 3 - Video 1).

Sorry for the lack of clarity, I got spoiled by workspaces ;)

Hi Craig,

I tried opening the project from the downloaded location and I'm getting the following errors when trying to run

Any idea of what I could be doing wrong?

Hey Luis, Sorry I don't have an answer to your question. However, I would recommend asking it as a new question. It could get lost in here as a response to something different (especially because this is marked as "solved"). I think you can do this by clicking on the "Get Help" button on the right of the panel below the video.

I am solved this problem in Eclipse... on some strange way.. :D First unzip downloaded file, then you need to use Import, select General -> Project from Folder or Archive and hit next, locate your s3v1...hit Finish... Now I created new javaFX project (delete main class and css file), drag and drop resorce folder in it... right click on resorce folder then Build path -> Use as source folder.... also move main class to package... correct some errors if you got them..

I just created a new directory in my IdeaProjects folder, copied the contents of the s3v1 folder into it and then opened that as a project in my IDE. I deleted the .gitignore file since I'm not running VCS on this.
