Description pkevin 2012-11-16 18:13:00 UTC 
On netbeans restart, clicking on an .fxml file in a maven project does not open Scene Builder.  Opening the options dialog at this point doesn't even show the availability of JavaFX under the java options.  The only way to enable the JavaFX platform is to go through the steps of creating a JavaFX FXML project, at which time a info dialog pops up informing me that JavaFX is being activated.  I cancel the project creation at that point and use netbeans and Scene Builder together with no problems.
Comment 1 Petr Somol 2012-11-17 18:03:33 UTC 
True, but this is not a bug, this is unfortunately just missing functionality. So far all FX Project type support in NB till 7.3 has been based on Ant only, no explicit Maven support exists in NB so far. We have filed an enhancement request for that that will be subject to planning for next NB release. For this reason I am making this issue part of the enhancement request (by changing type to Enhancement and adding the dependence).

*** Bug 223077 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 3 Petr Somol 2012-12-03 09:15:58 UTC 
because #223077 voted this to be P1 and here we had two P3 votes, I am setting the issue to P2.

test sample

I've attached the source of a sample for testing.

It is the Drombler FX sample application described here: 

http://sourceforge.net/p/drombler/wiki/GettingStarted/

To build the application:

cd test
mvn clean install

To run the application:

cd test-application
java -Djavafx.verbose=true -Dbinary.css=false -jar target/deployment/standalone/bin/foo.jar --userdir target/userdir

(or just select the test-application project in NetBeans a press the run button)

You can find some FXML-files in the test-sample project. If you double click on them they don't open successfully in the SceneBuilder because of this issue.

(In reply to comment #4)
Thanks, puce. This will indeed help our NB Maven/FX efforts..

Any news on this?
Comment 8 Lou Dasaro 2013-10-23 17:17:40 UTC 
Puce, what versions of NetBeans, JDK, Scene Builder and O.S. and did you use for your recent re-teat? 

By the way, I bumped https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/DTL-5573

Try to open the following file in the attached sample:

Make sure the classpath gets propagated to SceneBuilder: all sources, resources, generated sources, dependencies etc.

Ah, I'm getting the second error message when trying to open the same file twice without closing the error dialog inbetween.

> Make sure the classpath gets propagated to SceneBuilder: all sources,

I'm not sure, but something like this might help solve at least one problem:

<?import jfxtras.labs.scene.control.*?>
<?scenebuilder-classpath-element ../../../libraries/JFXtras2/jfxtras-labs-0.1.jar?>
Comment 15 Tomas Zezula 2013-10-30 14:54:04 UTC 
Partially fixed in dev, see issue #233825.
The JFX modules enabling is triggered by a content of the pom.xml.
Currently the presence of the JFX is detected by project/packaging == 'jfx' or
by execution of javafxpackager. Which works fine for the JavaFX projects generated by the IDE. Unfortunately there is no maven standard nor convention for JFX so it's impossible to detect unknown mvn project.
However the workaround for such unknown mvn projects is to Create a new JFX application Project which activates the JFX cluster.

Regarding the attached project (using drombler-fx-application packaging) it will require that IDE activates the JFX by the presence of drombler-fx-application packaging. I am evaluation to add it to the detection.
Comment 16 Tomas Zezula 2013-10-30 17:45:42 UTC 
jet-main 88a400f343d8
The JFX is activated even for drombler-fx-application packaging.
Comment 17 Tomas Zezula 2013-10-30 17:50:19 UTC 
The issue #237823 has to be fixed to properly support drombler-fx-application packaging.

you might want to consider some sort of property that users could use to indicate that the project is a "javafx" project. That could help handling cases we don't currently know about.
Comment 19 Tomas Zezula 2013-10-31 08:22:07 UTC 
Yes, it's a good idea to cover these cases by javafx property.
Comment 20 swpalmer 2013-11-18 16:29:30 UTC 
This shouldn't be limited to adding support to Maven projects. It should work with any project type, including Gradle.
Comment 21 swpalmer 2013-11-18 16:45:39 UTC 
Why does it even matter what the project "type" is?  If NB is launching Scene Builder because the user tried to open a FXML file that was part of the project, why wouldn't it always assume that Scene Builder needs to know the project classpath, etc. ?
