What to do if Launch isn't working in JavaFX?

I'm working on a school project and trying to launch the GUI for a playlist. A groupmate of mine has also introduced Maven components to the project itself so we can upload, get values from, and play audio like an actual playlist.

However, when I uploaded her file with the Maven components, the GUI refuses to launch saying that

The method launch(String[]) is undefined for the type application

I expected to have the GUI pop up on my screen but I get the error of

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem: 
    The method launch(String[]) is undefined for the type application
    at playlistProject/playlist.application.main(application.java:157) 

Below is the code and I'm wondering if it is an issue with the code or another property with JavaFX or Maven.

package playlist;
