Bug 242241

Summary:	[80cat] Scene Builder default home is 2.0, but NB runs version 1.1 instead

Description Lou Dasaro 2014-02-23 08:40:48 UTC

NetBeans runs JavaFX Scene Builder 1.1 even though Tools->Options->Java->JavaFX shows "Scene Builder Home" as default "JavaFX Scene Builder 2.0".
This occurs on systems that have both JavaFX Scene Builder 1.1 and 2.0 installed, and a fresh install of NetBeans (in this case, 8.0 RC1 ).
The workaround is in Tools->Options->Java->JavaFX to browse first for SB 1.1, Click OK, go back into Tools->Options->Java->JavaFX, select SB 2.0, and click OK.
Yet this is "ugly", because the default doesn't work out-of-the-box.

See also Bug 238520.  Tested with:

Product Version = NetBeans IDE 8.0 RC1 (Build 201402202300)
Operating System = Windows 8 version 6.2 running on x86
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.8.0
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 25.0-b69

Hello,

there is a code trying to look for what is in the preferences. So my question here is whether you have by any chance used the preferences from the previous version?

Can you please try to describe the exact steps that lead to the wrong state? I assume the steps were:

1. Install Scenebuilder 1.1 and 2.0
2. Install NetBeans 8.0 and start it with a new user did (without importing anything)
3. Try to launch Scenebuilder from NetBeans by opening a FXML file

Are these assumptions correct?

Thanks,

David

I have played today with the trunk version and the switching seems to work ok for me. I am closing the report as works for me - if you can tell the exact steps to reproduce please reopen. Thanks.

Hi David. Indeed the trunk version is fine. This minor bug was reported back in February and was repeatable at that time, using NetBeans 8 RC1, with pre-release (or very early) versions of Java 8 and Scene Builder 2. I can only assume it was fixed as a side-effect of something else, and therefore am marking as fixed.

I apologize for not subsequently retesting with GA versions of NB, SB, and Java 8, as it was clearly fixed by March 2014.
