I'm making a program with Javafx Eclipse and I get an error when I open the program with the Scene Builder
This is the error:
Opening the file with SceneBuilder failed.
Try setting the absolute path to scenebuilder in your preferences
I'm making a program with Javafx Eclipse and I get an error when I open the program with the Scene Builder

Try setting the absolute path to scenebuilder in your preferences
Set the SceneBuilder executable path in the JavaFX of your Eclipse IDE as the following:
Click "Browse" and navigate to the JavaFXSceneBuilder2.0 bash file (linux) or JavaFXSceneBuilder2.0.exe (windows) like the following:
Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\JavaFX Scene Builder 2.0
Linux: /opt/JavaFXSceneBuilder2.0/JavaFXSceneBuilder2.0
Make sure you are running the latest version of Eclipse. I've tested this with Luna 4.4 as I had the same issue.
Install the latest version of JavaFX Scene Builder. You can find version 2.0 here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/sb2download-2177776.html
Then set your absolute path to the JavaFX Scene Builder in your preferences:
In the Editor Selection window select the "OK" button.
In the Associated editors: list, select "JavaFX Scene Builder 2.0" and click the "Default" button.
Now you should be good to go!
I downloaded SceneBuilder 8.0 from http://gluonhq.com/products/downloads/ because Oracle only provides the source code.
Configure Eclipse to use SceneBuilder executable. Go to Preferences -> JavaFX -> set SceneBuilder executable. Mine was C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\SceneBuilder\SceneBuilder.exe
Java FX Scene Builder is not part of the Java SDK nor the e(fx)clipse plugin. It's an external tool that you have to download and install separatly. Java FX Scene Builder is part of the Java Archive, if link doesn't work, you'll probably find a link to the Archive at the bottom of the Java Download page, and find it from there.
After installation, the cleanest way is to set the path under Window > Preferences > JavaFX
(on Windows, browse and select C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\JavaFX Scene Builder 2.0\JavaFX Scene Builder 2.0.exe as executable).
This will render the context menu option "Open with SceneBuilder" operational on *.fxml files.
Unfortunately this doesn't add SceneBuilder as an internal editor or external program, so if you want the file associations, you'll still have to browse for your external program int the file association dialog under Window > Preferences > General > Editors > File Associations. You can choose *.fxml, and add an associated editor, choosing "External programs" and browsing for the above mentionned executable.
set the path to SceneBuilder app; to do this on mac os
Try downloading javafx scene builder from the link:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javafxscenebuilder-1x-archive-2199384.html
Then integrate it with your ide by Window>preferences and add a file adssociation as an external program to it.
None of the previous answers solve the described problem for me.
This answer did.
Those of you who are using MacOS ( in my case ), Go to JavaFx from preferences then browse to application folder and select scene builder.
Doing other ways wont open the exact file you are trying to edit (It may make a new file which will be untitled and you have to save it manually on the project directory). Also right clicking the fxml file, you wont be able to use the option (open with scenebuilder).
I was getting the same error:
The way I solved it is by me going to (on Mac) Eclipse/Preferences/JavaFX SceneBuilder executable, click on "Browse" then select the application SceneBuilder. that should fix it. Apply and close. Now try it again and it should open it up. Hope this helps.
