Does IntellJ support using Scene Builder 17?

Answered

It seems that IntellJ does not recognise Scene Builder 17. Is that right? I downloaded installed the latest IntellJ (Build #IC-213.6777.52, built on January 28, 2022) with the default setting, and I downloaded the Scene Builder from the Gluon site. There were two versions: 17.0.0 and 8.5.0; I downloaded 17.0.0. I installed it with default setting.

Then, I specified the path to "SceneBuilder.exe" in the settings.

I created a default JavaFX project, let IntellJ download OpenJDK 17.0.2 for me. IntellJ cannot open Scene Builder.

If I click the "download scene builder kit"/"Download JavaFX", then it downloads it and opens the scene builder, but judging by the name, that version seems to be an old version, 11. So, my question is, is the latest Scene Builder supposed to work? I experimented downloading scenebuilderkit 17 from Gluon site and rename it to 11.0.6 and put it in that directory, but that did not work.

Here is the video on how to use Scene Builder 17: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkCyDQ1Kpvg

If it does not work, please share the idea.log after reproducing the problem.

Thanks.

The person in the video is opening the xml in the external SceneBuilder by right-clicking the file and clicking "Open in SceneBuilder" in the context menu. That works in my case, too. But that is not what I meant. I meant that you open the xml in within the IntellJ, click the "SceneBuilder" at the bottom.

Most probably, it is related to https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-282072

It seems that I cannot attach the log ZIP file here. So, I uploaded it here: https://filebin.net/7vj0msr30u7p78cf

What I did was: start IntelliJ, create a new JavaFX project with default settings, open the XML file, click the "Scene Builder" at the bottom, right-clicked the file and chose "Open in Scene Builder".

This could have been fixed in the scope of https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-260763
Try 2022.1 EAP version from https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/nextversion/
Does it help?

Oh, sorry, I got you wrong. Embedded Scene Builder is our custom build and user cannot modify it. 

The only way to use Scene Builder 17 is to open FXML file in Scene Builder via context action. 

Thanks.
