SceneBuilder Kit crippled by Gluon charm hidden dependency?

Question

Downloaded Gluon Scene Builder Kit. Upon execution the program will crash during "EditController" creation - instancing.

Tried older versions and scoured the net to no avail. The range of options are (to me) limited as there are hidden dependencies is closed libs.

public class Main extends Application { @Override public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception { EditorController editor_controller = new EditorController(); ... ... } public static void main(String[] args){ launch(args); } }

I expected to see at the least the content pane but instead got:

"java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.base/java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:566) at javafx.graphics/com.sun.javafx.application.LauncherImpl.lau

Solved the issue by adding "charm-glisten-5.0.2.jar" to the project references (I'm using IntelliJ btw). Which Jar is NOT referenced anywhere on - in the SceneBuilder kit download download section, or the site.

So, if one wishes to expose scene builder in YOUR app, NOT simply to integrate it into your IDE, then make sure you add the above jar as a reference to your project. It can be found in the repo at https://nexus.gluonhq.com/nexus/content/repositories/releases/com/gluonhq/charm-glisten/5.02/
