Answer 1

None of the previous answers solve the described problem for me.
This answer did.

Answer 2

1. I downloaded SceneBuilder 8.0 from http://gluonhq.com/products/downloads/ because Oracle only provides the source code.

2. Configure Eclipse to use SceneBuilder executable. Go to Preferences -> JavaFX -> set SceneBuilder executable. Mine was C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\SceneBuilder\SceneBuilder.exe

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

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:

1. Click on the menu path: Window->Preferences->General->Editors->File Association
2. Select *.fxml in the "File types:" list on the right hand side
3. Click the "Add..." button for the "Associated editors:" list.
4. Click the "External programs" in the "Editor Selection" menu.
5. Click the "External programs" radio button.
6. Click the "Browse..." button and Navigate to this path: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\JavaFX Scene Builder 2.0". Select the file: JavaFX Scene Builder 2.0.exe
7. Click the "Open" button.

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!
