Using JavaFX (JDK 1.8.0_40) in Eclipse Luna does not show the SceneBuilder to create the UI

Question

I am new to JavaFX. When I try to build a simple JavaFX program in Eclipse Luna. after I created the new FXML Document, I try to open the .fxml file through the scenebuilder, Eclipse shows the following message in the editor:

"opening the file with scene builder failed. Try setting the absolute path to scenebuilder in your the preferences"

Any hints how to solve this Problem?

Answer 1

There is setting to set the path to the Scenebuilder in Eclipse. Go to the preferences and search for the JavaFX tab.

EDIT:

The reason for not finding the scenebuilder in the jdk 8 build is that Oracle has decided to no longer provide binary downloads for it.

Have a look at these posts: Oracle Scenebuilder JavaFX 8

Btw, you can find the recent builds of scenebuilder at http://gluonhq.com/products/downloads/
