Я пытаюсь открыть FileChooser с этим кодом:

package back_end.controllers;

import javafx.fxml.FXML;
import javafx.fxml.Initializable;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.control.ListView;
import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane;
import javafx.stage.FileChooser;

import java.io.File;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.ResourceBundle;

/**
 * Created by Quinn McHugh on 4/15/2014.
 */
public class StartScreen_Controller implements Initializable {

    @FXML
    private ListView lstRecents;
    @FXML
    private Button btnBrowse;
    @FXML
    private BorderPane borderPane;

    @Override
    public void initialize(URL fxmlFileLocation, ResourceBundle resources){
        lstRecents = new ListView();
        btnBrowse = new Button();
        borderPane = new BorderPane();
    }

    public void openFile(){
        /* Presents a file chooser but does nothing functionally.
        */
        FileChooser fc = new FileChooser();
        File f = fc.showOpenDialog(btnBrowse.getScene().getWindow());
    }
}

но он запутался в методе openFile (). Компилятор создает исключение NullPointerException с этими сообщениями об ошибках:

Любая помощь будет принята с благодарностью, так как я новичок в JavaFX и использую Scene Builder.
