How to integrate javaFX scene builder kit in Eclipse - scenebuilder

I found installation packages for scene builder on Gluonhq.com site. I tried install with deb version and it is working on my Ubuntu. There is scene builder kit jar version and I want to try to integrate to Eclipse. Can someone help me to know how to integrate javaFX scene builder kit jar in eclipse. I just want to know how to integrate to Eclipse.
Thanks in advance,
jj

OK, I found it.
It is only to use for building new GUI application, such as application similar to Scene Builder. You don't have to write new code, just reuse code from Scene Builder. I am using Eclipse and following is how I add to User Libraries.
On Eclipse,
Window→Preference→Java→Build Path→User Libraries
New→User library name:→give some name, e.g. SceneBuilderKit
select on SceneBuilderKit you just created
Add External JARs→locate to SceneBuilderKit.jar and select it
Create a new java project
Right click on Project folder→Properties→Java Build Path
Libraries tab→Modulepath→Add Library…
Add Library…→User Library
Check SceneBuilderKit→Apply and close
Now you can use components from SceneBuilderKit
here is a video I found on YouTube

Correct setup for developing in JavaFX with Jfoenix 9.0.9

I want to develop a JavaFX application with Netbeans and Scene Builder integration and I would like to use Jfoenix 9.0.9. I've tried using Netbeans 8.2 but the latest version of Jfoenix is not old enough, and by downgrading to Jfoenix 8 I would lose the JFXTabPane functionality which would be a bummer.
I need help setting up the proper software to use. So far I've tried JDK 832 with NetBeans 8.2 and NetBeans Apache with both this JDK and the latest (11.0.4), but can't seem to make it work. Could it be possible to follow a guide? It would be fine if I had to create the project from scratch on Maven or Gradle for the Apache Netbeans, I just want to make sure it's the right Java version and the IDE can work with both settings. I'm a bit lost, thanks in advance
I will be working on NetBeans 8.2 JDK 8 and JFoenix version 8.0.8, luckily I can import the latest Jfoenix build to Scene Builder and it still works on NetBeans... for some reason. Scene Builder also crashes when I use TabPane components, the workaround is to browse the .fxml file you want to work on, not open it directly through the NetBeans double click functionality...
This is all a bit messy, but it's the best I can do and I don't have too much time to spare in trying stuff out unfortunately. Thanks for the help Slaw

Can you write code directly into Scene Builder?

Is there a way to create a functioning calculator in JavaFX Scene Builder and completely by-passing Eclipse?
My teacher told me I can only code directly into Scene Builder to build a simple Java calculator project. So far I can do it only by creating a JavaFX project in Eclipse, creating an fxml file through that project, and opening that fxml file through Scene Builder, creating my layout, then writing java controller code by copy/pasting the skeleton code provided by Scene Builder into a java file in Eclipse. My question is: Is there a way to write the controller code directly into Scene Builder?

JavaFX Gluon Themeing Issue

Good Themed App
Ugly Themed App
Whenever I use Scene Builder, the window is previewed as the nice looking blue gluon theme. When I run the application, it appears with the boring theme. How do I set the theme when I start the application?
Gluon theme isn't included in default java distribution. For using it you have to read gluon documentation and learn how to connect this module to your project.

scenebuilder 8.5 custom jar not load, can't open fxml

i download scenebuilder 8.5 java 8 version, before i used scenebuilder 8.4.1 without any problem.
With new one:
- custom jar does not appear in list
- open an fxml doesn't work (fxml created with scenebuilder 8.4.1 without any problem) even if i don't use my custom library
- no log error appears, just no reaction on open project action button???
I try to install again the application but without success.
When i open scenebuilder in intellij, it works.
I have two questions:
What should i check or do?
How can i download scenebuilder 8.4.1
i found why, it's a problem of my custom jar, i fix it and know it's ok

Importing JFoenix library to SceneBuilder - javaFX

I downloaded library JFoenix.jar from official site for Java 8.
I want to import that library to Scene Builder (Gluon). But everytime I try to import it, I dont have all elements from that library
(it misses for example JFXButton, JFXTextarea etc.).
I can import only 21 elements from that library, and I dont know what I am doing wrong. Anyone can help?
Screenshots:
Importing library
only imports 21 elements:
Many JavaFX custom controls are no longer compatible between Java 8 and 9 versions due mainly to the changes in the JavaFX API (if they were using private skins).
This can be noticed with Scene Builder, which is a JavaFX application after all running either Java 8 or 9.
If you want to add custom libraries like JFoenix to Scene Builder you have to choose the right library for the right version:
JFoenix 8.0.2 works fine for Scene Builder 8.4.1
JFoenix 9.0.1 works fine for Scene Builder 9.0.1
JavaFX 8
Scene Builder 8.4.1, JAR/FXML Manager -> Manually add Library from Repository, and search for com.jfoenix, jfoenix, selecting the latest 8 version (8.0.2):
then click Add Jar, you'll see 44 components:
JavaFX 9
Scene Builder 9.0.1, JAR/FXML Manager -> Search repositories for jfoenix and select com.jfoenix:jfoenix as this will pick the latest version available:
Then click Add Jar, it will add 44 components again.
Mixing versions
But if using Scene Builder 9.0.1 you select 8.0.2 (manually add Library from Repository, and search for com.jfoenix, jfoenix, selecting the version, 8.0.2), you will get only 23 components:
These components seem compatible between Java 8 and 9, while the 21 missing are no longer compatible.
At the end, it will depend on your real project. If you are targeting JDK 8, I'd suggest you stick to Scene Builder 8.4.1, so you can use the same library versions as in your project.
Simple Check scene builder version if its 9 then uninstall and install scene builder 8.x.x for netbeans version 8.x.x
if you have netbeans 11 then use scene builder version 11
i wasted enough time on this hope you don't and this helps.
Have a good day ! :)
