I've been trying to use Fontawesomefx in my JavaFX application to enrich my UI design but after downloading the Jar file and uploading it into scene builder, it shows no UI components. When I search in SceneBuilder, I get to use it alright but then I can't use it in my Java code. PS. I've tried multiple versions of Jens fontawesome jars and I'm using Java 10.
Thanks in advance.
change the SceneBuilder with gluon. https://gluonhq.com/products/scene-builder/#download
after that import jar fontawasomefx.
i hope that helps. sorry my english little bad.

I have faced with one problem, for my project I need to use JFXDatePicker, however I can't find it to use, Here only DatePicker is avaiable but I need exactly JFXDatePicker.
Scene Builder: search panel enter image description here
JFXDatePicker is from an external library. Probably from JFoenix. In order to use that in SceneBuilder you have to import that external library in SB. This Adding a custom component to SceneBuilder 2.0 may be helpful.
I am developing an User Interface for a simulation application and would like to try and make the gui more professional by using my own application icon.
Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.
Put your icon into the directory, e.g. src/main/deploy/myIcon.icns. Then deploy it as a native package (http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/deployment/self-contained-packaging.htm). You can make use of http://github.com/javafx-maven-plugin/javafx-maven-plugin plugin if you use maven to deploy your application.
I've written a simulation with animations in Swing (and awt components) and graphing in JavaFX. However, I would like to build this in Netbeans so that all components are build correctly. I read on Oracle's site that I need to build with certain parameters to enable e.g. Swing functionality in a JavaFX application, but as I don't have any experience with packaging, I have no idea how to do this. I created my project in Netbeans as a "Java Application", but added the JavaFX functionality much later.
I recommend that you start looking here:
http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/installation_2-2/javafx-installation-mac.htm
Eventually you will find this:

Projects done in a IDE can be confusing for those who do not know very well how to manipulate them. What you can do now is take a look at the link I gave you so you can learn to create and manipulate a JavaFX project. Then what you can do is create a new JavaFX project and import the classes you were using in the previous project. To copy the classes, you can simply import your class files with NetBeans, or you can copy and paste the files from your computer into Netbeans project that Netbeans will recognize your files.
Remember that at the end of all, the projects reflect the existing files on your computer. What an IDE primarily does for you is just to help you manipulate these files.
OBS: To learn how to use Netbeans with scene builder, look at the following link:
http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/scenebuilder/1/use_java_ides/sb-with-nb.htm
Hope this helps. As always, we're here. Good luck! :)
When a help topic is clicked on an OSX app's Help menu the so-called Help Viewer loads with the relevant page shown.
How can this be achieved by a Java Swing app?
Traditionally like this:
Application.getApplication().openHelpViewer();
where Application is in com.apple.eawt. To make it work properly the whole application will have to be jarred up and embedded appropriately in an .app structure with the help documents in the right place. The Jarbundler ant task will do this for you.
NetBeans for JavaFX I tried, but its really not stable, lot of things getting often changed and also it does not shift with NetBeans nightly builds. Also I am afraid will JavaFX remain or it will be deprecated by Oracle.
So, I was thinking if there is something else which has more advanced way of doing JavaFX UI designing, as an alternative tools of NetBeans for JavaFX.
Question: Is there any good JavaFX gui builders which generates readable code, with less mess?
Thanks in advance.

You can try JavaFX Scene Builder to create visualy your FXML files. FXML files are the "UI" of your application! JavaFX Scene Builder is only for JavaFX 2.0!
