When working with JavaFX Scene Builder in IntelliJ, you may need to configure the path to the Scene Builder executable file on your computer. This is required for opening .fxml files in Scene Builder directly from the IntelliJ IDE. By specifying the correct path, you can seamlessly switch between the Text tab and the Scene Builder tab while working on your JavaFX interfaces. This integration between IntelliJ and Scene Builder simplifies the process of designing and editing your JavaFX projects.

What You'll Learn
Configuring the path to Scene Builder in IDE settings
IntelliJ IDEA allows you to open .fxml files in JavaFX Scene Builder directly from the IDE. This enables you to visually design JavaFX interfaces directly. When you open an .fxml file in the editor, you will see two tabs: the Text tab and the Scene Builder tab. If you switch to the Scene Builder tab and your project doesn't have JavaFX Scene Builder, you will be prompted to install the Scene Builder Kit. After installing, you can view .fxml files in Scene Builder by switching to the dedicated tab.
You can configure the path to Scene Builder in IDE settings. This allows you to open .fxml files outside the IDE in the Scene Builder application. When configuring the path, specify the path to the Scene Builder executable file on your computer. The path depends on your operating system. For example, on Linux, the path depends on your distribution. After applying the changes, close the dialog and press Alt+1 or go to View | Tool Windows | Project in the main menu to open the Project tool window.
To open an .fxml file in Scene Builder, right-click on the file and select Open in SceneBuilder. If IntelliJ prompts for a location, direct it to your SceneBuilder installation folder.
Note that you can also download and install the latest version of IntelliJ IDEA, which includes the JavaFX 2 plugin. This plugin enables you to create a new JavaFX Application project, start Scene Builder from within the IDE, and run the Scene Builder HelloWorld sample application.

Specifying the path to the Scene Builder executable file
To specify the path to the Scene Builder executable file, follow these steps:
Firstly, open an .fxml file in the editor. You should see two tabs underneath the editing area: the Text tab and the Scene Builder tab. If you don't have JavaFX Scene Builder installed, you will be prompted to install the Scene Builder Kit. Once you have installed it, you can switch to the Scene Builder tab to start editing your file in Scene Builder.
If you are using IntelliJ for the first time, you will need to specify the path to your Scene Builder installation. If you have selected the wrong path, you can change it by going to IDE settings and configuring the path to Scene Builder. This will allow you to open .fxml files outside the IDE in the Scene Builder application.
When you open a *.fxml file, if you haven't specified the path to the Scene Builder, you will see the message "Please configure JavaFX Scene Builder path." Click on the path link and select the Scene Builder executable in the dialog that opens. Specify the path to the Scene Builder executable file on your computer. The path may depend on your operating system and distribution.
Once you have specified the path, you can apply the changes and close the dialog. Now you can open an .fxml file and select "Open In SceneBuilder" to start editing your file in Scene Builder.

Selecting the Scene Builder installation folder
When selecting the Scene Builder installation folder, it is important to note that the process may vary depending on your operating system. Here is a step-by-step guide for selecting the Scene Builder installation folder:
For Windows:
- Download the JavaFX Scene Builder installer file from the Oracle website.
- Run the installer file, which is typically named "javafx_scenebuilder-version-windows.msi".
- Follow the installation wizard and accept the license agreement.
- By default, the Scene Builder will be installed in the "Program Files" folder, specifically in the "Oracle" or "SceneBuilder" subfolder. For example, "C:\Program Files\Oracle\JavaFX Scene Builder 2.0" or "C:\Program Files\SceneBuilder".
For macOS:
- Download the JavaFX Scene Builder installer file from the Oracle website.
- Open the downloaded file, which is typically named "javafx_scenebuilder-version-macosx-universal.dmg".
- Drag the "JavaFX Scene Builder.app" file into your Applications folder.
For Linux:
- Download the JavaFX Scene Builder installer file from the Oracle website.
- Extract the contents of the downloaded file, typically named "javafx_scenebuilder-version-linux-
.tar.gz", to a directory of your choice. - Alternatively, double-click the "javafx_scenebuilder-version-linux-
.deb" file to open it with Ubuntu Software Center.
Once the installation is complete, you can configure the path to Scene Builder in your IDE settings. This will allow you to open .fxml files outside the IDE in the Scene Builder application. Additionally, ensure that you have the necessary prerequisites, such as JDK 8 and NetBeans IDE 8.0, installed on your system to successfully run Scene Builder.

Pointing to the SceneBuilder installation
To point to the SceneBuilder installation, you must first ensure that you have downloaded the JavaFX Scene Builder Samples bundle from the Oracle website and extracted its contents. You can then open the IntelliJ IDEA main window, click "File", and choose "Import Project". Navigate to the location where you extracted the JavaFX Scene Builder samples and expand the relevant sample folder.
Next, select the "src" folder and click "OK". In the Import Project wizard, keep the "Create project from existing sources" option selected and click "Next". Type the name of the project in the "Project Name" field and click "Next" again. You can then leave the rest of the default choices and values specified in the Import Project wizard and continue to click "Next" until you see the "Finish" button.
Once the project is imported, you can specify the path to the Scene Builder executable file on your computer. This path depends on your distribution. After applying these changes, close the dialog. You can then press "Alt+1" or go to "View", "Tool Windows", and then "Project" in the main menu to open the Project tool window.
Right-click on an .fxml file you want to open and select "Open in SceneBuilder". You can now open .fxml files in Scene Builder right in the IDE by switching to the dedicated tab.
