JavaFX 2 Scene Builder and e(fx)clipse Updates

I’m excited about the quick reaction to bug reports by the JavaFX developers at Oracle! I’ve reported an (annoying) Scene Builder bug at the end of November and it was already fixed in a new Scene Builder version in January.

Scene Builder Update

The Scene Builder bug forced us to delete and then reselect the controller class every time we reopened a fxml file in Scene Builder. This is fixed in Scene Builder 1.1 beta 17 and above. So I recommend you update to the newest version:

Go to JavaFX Scene Builder Page and download the newest JavaFX Scene Builder 1.1 Early Access edition.

I’ve updated the AddressApp Tutorial Part 3, Part 5 and Part 6 where I mentioned the bug.

e(fx)clipse Update

The (very helpful) JavaFX plugin for Eclipse has been updated to version 0.8.0.

As Tom Schindl, the author of e(fx)clipse, mentioned in a comment to AddressApp Tutorial Part 7, we might not need to explicitly start Eclipse with a JDK to do the deployment (Step 1 in the tutorial).
