Answer 1

Follow these steps:

1. Open Netbeans
2. Click File > New Project > JavaFX > JavaFX with existing sources
3. Click Next
4. Name the project
5. Click Next
6. Under Source Package Folders click Add Folder
7. Select the nbproject folder under the zip file you wish to upload (Note: you need to unzip the folder)
8. Click Next
9. All the files will be included but you can exclude some if you wish
10. Click Finish and the project should be there

If you don't have the source folder added do the following

1. Under your projects directory tree right click on Source Packages
2. Click New
3. Click Java Package and name it with the name of the package the source files have
4. Go to the directory location (i.e., using Windows Explorer not Netbeans) of those source files, highlight them all, then drag and drop them under that Java Package you just created
5. Click Run
6. Click Clean and Build Project

Now you can have fun and run the application.
