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?

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 ! :)

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

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
I'm developing a JavaFX application and can't seem to import the Alert and Dialog classes that were released with Java 8 update 40 (Java 1.8.0_40). My version of Java is the newest version (1.8.0_121-b13). Did they remove Alert and Dialog from the latest version? How do I even find what classes are included in a specific Java release?
Here is my attempt to import:
import javafx.scene.control.Dialog;
It is okay up to the package control but cannot find the class Dialog.
Other information
Using Netbeans as my IDE
Project Properties:
Sources >> Source/Binary Format: JDK8
Sources >> Profile: Full JRE
Libraries >> Java Platform: JDK 1.8 (Default)
Thanks to James_D for helping me determine that I did actually have the classes on my hard disk (see the comments section of the original question). I then knew it was just a matter of configuring Netbeans properly. (Programming is not my main job so spending time trying to learn what all the settings & menus mean in the IDE is quite overwhelming right now, though I am learning bit by bit).
Anyway, I found what I needed under the menu:
Tools >> Java Platforms
Even though I have the latest JDK installed, this was still pointing to jdk1.8.0_20 which is pre-JavaFX Alert & Dialog classes.
Adding a new Java Platform and then going into Project Properties and setting it there fixed my issue.
I am using the JavaFX included in Java7u67. I have been trying to find the source code for FXMLLoader here but it isn't there. However, in the JavaFX 8 source base there is a module called fxml. Which fxml is included in the Java7u67? Oacle says that Java7u67 includes JavaFX 2.2.67 but I cannot find that version of JavaFX.
Nothing is back ported from JavaFX 8 into JavaFX 2. It is also true for all versions of Java. All later versions have added functionality on the previous version (though some unwanted functionality may also be removed)
The most probable reason you can't find fxml in source of JavaFX 2 is because
JavaFX 2 is partially open-sourced
whereas
JavaFX 8 is completely open-sourced
FXML is present and will work in Oracle Java 7 as long as you have the runtime classpath for your application set up correctly.
Is the latest version of JavaFX that is included in JDK 8 compatible with Java 7? Oracle says here that the latest version is included in JDK but I wonder if it is included in the latest update of JDK 7 and whether or not it is the same version as in the JDK 8?
The latest version of JavaFX 8 is incompatible with Java 7 !
You can use javafx 2.x with any version of Java 7. But in order to use JavaFX 8, you need Java 8 !
Update (as per user requirement)
There are loads and loads of bug fixes from javafx2 to javafx8. There are many noticeable changes as well. Few of them are as follows :
New Look - Javafx8 comes with a new UI, a fresh look called Modena. For more details, visit this
Print API - After Java Printer API, used in awt, for the very first time a new Printing support has be added to JavaFX
Swing Node - Swing node will allow you to embed swing components inside a javafx scene. Support for the opposite, is already possible via JFXPanel.
Improved 3D support - Camera, 3Dprimitives, Light, 3DAttributes are few things that you can look in JavaFX8 3D support. There are many more.
New UI Controls - DatePicker and the TreeTableView controls has been added
Support for Hi-DPI displays has been added in this release.
The whole list of changes can be found What's new in JDK 8, under the JavaFX section
Is it possible to use the latest version of JavaFX with JDK 7
There is a OpenJFX 8 backport to Java SE 7. I don't know its current state. I think its maintained by the OpenJFX on Android/ iOS community.
https://bitbucket.org/narya/jfx78/wiki/Home
But I recommend to use Java SE 8 if you want to use JavaFX 8.
Oracle says here that the latest version is included in JDK but I
wonder if it is included in the latest update of JDK 7 and whether or
not it is the same version as in the JDK 8?
Oracle's Java SE 7 contains JavaFX 2.x and Oracle's Java SE 8 contains JavaFX 8.
They are not the same.
