This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
FXML files can either specify a controller or use a dynamic root Node that is set using the FXMLLoader as explained here: http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/fxml_get_started/custom_control.htm NetBeans has a Template for the first case, but not for the second. e(fx)clipse has a CheckBox in it's FXML-File-Dialog that allows to select if you want to use a "dynamic root (fx:root)". I think NetBeans should also support that, or have a second Template for that use case.
