Collect different mechanical parts and attach them to your body to use different abilities. Enemies will stand in your way and knock your parts off.

This guide provides information on how to download and install JavaFX Scene Builder 2.0 on a Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X system. Download information for the JavaFX Scene Builder samples is also included.

JavaFX Scene Builder is a design tool that enables you to drag and drop graphical user interface (GUI) components onto a JavaFX scene. It can help you to quickly prototype interactive applications that connect GUI components to the application logic. It automatically generates the FXML source code as you define the GUI layout for your application.

System Requirements

Use the following information to help you get set up and successfully start using JavaFX Scene Builder.

Platformer

  • Ensure that your system meets the requirements listed in the JDK Certified System Configurations section of the Java SE Downloads page. JavaFX Scene Builder 2.0 supports the same Java 8, Standard Edition (Java SE 8) platforms that support JavaFX, with the exception of Linux ARM.

  • Download JDK 8 from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html and install it to successfully run the JavaFX Scene Builder 2.0 samples.

  • Download and install the latest NetBeans IDE 8.0 software to successfully complete the JavaFX Scene Builder Getting Started tutorial. The tight integration that NetBeans IDE has with JavaFX Scene Builder allows you to easily create a new FXML file, edit it using JavaFX Scene Builder, modify and compile your Java controller source files, and run the sample application used in the tutorial. Download the NetBeans IDE 8.0 software from http://netbeans.org/downloads/.

    However, there are also instructions in the JavaFX Scene Builder Getting Started tutorial that guide you to complete the sample application using only a standalone JavaFX Scene Builder tool and the ANT utility. You can also use Using JavaFX Scene Builder with Java IDEs to get information about how to use other Java IDEs to create JavaFX projects and use Scene Builder to work on the FXML file for your application's GUI layout.

Getting Started

To get started with Scene Builder, read through the following documentation:

  • JavaFX Scene Builder Overview - A high level overview of the JavaFX Scene Builder 2.0 tool

  • JavaFX Scene Builder User Guide - An introduction to the user interface and features of JavaFX Scene Builder 2.0

  • Getting Started with JavaFX Scene Builder - A step-by-step tutorial for creating the FXML file that defines the user interface of a simple issue tracking application

  • Using JavaFX Scene Builder with Java IDEs - A tutorial that gives information about how to configure the NetBeans, Eclipse, or IntelliJ IDEs to use with Scene Builder.

Running the JavaFX Scene Builder Samples

Download the JavaFX Scene Builder samples to see some applications you can build using the Scene Builder tool.

  1. Go to the Additional Resources section of the download page at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html.

  2. Locate the JavaFX Scene Builder section, click the Samples link, and follow the prompts to save the javafx_scenebuilder_samples-2_0.zip file to your local file system.

  3. Extract the sample files from the zip file to a directory on your local file system.

Each sample is a NetBeans project and also includes at least one JavaFX layout stored as an FXML file. The <sample>.fxml file can be loaded and edited using the JavaFX Scene Builder.

To run the samples, you must have the JDK 8 software. Since the samples include the corresponding NetBeans projects files, using the NetBeans IDE is the simplest way to run the sample applications. However, you can also run them using the Ant utility, Eclipse, or IntelliJ IDEA. See below for more information.

Using NetBeans IDE

Use NetBeans 8 or later to run the JavaFX Scene Builder 8.0 samples.

  1. Go to the javafx_scenebuilder_samples-2_0-install directory in which you extracted the sample files.

  2. Run a sample by opening the project in the NetBeans IDE, compiling it, and then running it. For example, to run the Login application, open the Login project in NetBeans IDE, right-click the project node in the Projects window, and select Run.
    Source code for each sample is in the src folder for each NetBeans project.

Using Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA

See Using JavaFX Scene Builder with Java IDEs for information on how to run the samples in either the Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA environment.

Using the Ant Utility

If you choose not to run the samples in NetBeans or any other IDE, you can use the Apache Ant utility (version 1.8 or later) to build and run the sample application on the command line. Enter a command similar to that in Example 1-1. Note that the examples shown use JDK 8.

Chicken Platformer Prototype Mac Os X

Example 1-1 Ant Command to Run the Sample Application

The main values for <TARGET> are clean, jar, and run. You can set <TARGET> with the value of -projecthelp to get a list of available targets. For example, to run the Login application on the Windows or Mac OS platform, type something similar to that in Example 1-2.
