setting up Scene Builder with NetBeans 8.0.2

Question

I am using: Mac OS X 10.10.1

NetBeans 8.0.2

SceneBuilder 8.0.0 downloaded from gluonhq.com

I dragged SceneBuilder to Applications folder. When I go to Options>Java>JavaFX and set Scene Builder path to the Applications folder, I get the error:

Selected location does not represent a valid JavaFX Scene Builder installation

Kindly guide me.

Answer 1

Add Scene Builder to Netbeans 8.2

Here are the steps that I went through to setup Scene Builder:

• You can download Scene Builder 8.2 here

• Install the package (or run the installer) and find the install location

  • /opt/SceneBuilder on Ubuntu
  • C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Scene Builder on Windows 10

• Then to link it to Netbeans IDE 8.2 go to Tools>Options>Java>JavaFX

• Select Browse from the Scene Builder Home drop down menu

• Finally navigate to the install location for Scene Builder 8.2 and click Open and then Ok

To enjoy your newly found Scene Builder bliss, right click on a .fxml file in the Project Pane, and select Open.

[Note: One would use the Edit option to edit the .fxml code ]

[Update: You can still download Oracle's JavaFX Scene Builder 2.0 here, but Gluon is now maintaining Scene Builder ]
