JavaFX: Can IntelliJ use decompressed version of SceneBuilder?
I have downloaded and installed SceneBuilder. If I set the path to the real "SceneBuilder.exe" in the JavaFX settings of IntelliJ, it can show the SceneBuilder within itself.
But my problem with SceneBuilder is that its font is too small. So, I decompressed the scenebuilder...jar file, and edited the CSS file inside of it. I can run this decompressed SceneBuilder with a command like `java --module-path ... --add-modules.. com.oracle.javafx.scenebuilder.app.SceneBuilderApp`, and I even created a simple Windows EXE file that executes the aforementioned command. That is, if I double-click the exe file, SceneBuilder is launching from the decompressed jar.
However, if set the path to that exe in IntelliJ's settings, it cannot launch the SceneBuilder. Is there a way to make IntellJ use the decompressed SceneBuilder's jar file? Or is the only way to compress my modified version into the jar file?

We are opening SceneBuilder with Signed executable instead of jar. This way allows preventing the possibility to modify the classpath and add jars with external components directly there
Your reply explains why we need to specify the path to the SceneBuilder.exe in IntellJ's settings, but I do not understand why specifying the path to my EXE that also launches SceneBuilder from the decompressed jar does not work.
Anyway, if I have to use the original SceneBuilder.exe, I guess I will try to modify the jar with the modified CSS.
