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.

  • I'm not sure about Mac, but for Windows I had to install a NetBeans [nightly build](http://bits.netbeans.org/download/trunk/nightly/latest/) that included a patch to allow a different path for Scene Builder other than the Oracle's one. – José Pereda Apr 05 '15 at 16:23

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 ]

  1. Create project File > New project > JavaFX > JavaFX FXML Application
  2. Download Scene Builder follow this link
  3. To link Scene Builder(no matter v1.1 or v2.0) do next steps: Service > Parameters > Java > JavaFX > Scene Builder start page > Preview and show path to unpacked folder. Confirm.
  4. In your project right click .fxml and click Open.

you can also download a javafx program an you specify well the path where you wan to install your scene builder; on netbeans ... i have the version 8.0.2 then go to tools-> options->javaFX specify exactly the directory where you installed it (scnene builder) i tried on windows. Your project w'll automatically build then go to your file fxml right click and open

Make sure your Java(JDK) version and Scene Builder version must be same. Scene Builder v10 is not compatible with Java v1.8.

    Highlighting important words are good but providing single statement and highlight whole sentence does not look good ever – ray Jan 11 '19 at 06:36

When you use NetBeans 8 in Mac OS X, if your NetBeans IDE is running, after installing SceneBuilder, you can not integrate SceneBuilder with NetBeans IDE before restart NetBeans! So the only thing you can do is restarting NetBeans, and NetBeans will find and integrate SceneBuilder.app in Applications folder automatically.
