Can you check the gecko driver.exe is placed in your machine and the path is given before the driver object is created.

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "path of the gecko driver exe");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

If this is working fine, can you show me the code for the above.
