Answer 1

If you have a look at the bug, they say that the solution is available in 7.3 beta and higher.

Bug:

Selecting the JavaFX scene builder home directory throws following error: " does not represent a valid JavaFX Scene Builder installation."

This seems to caused by the names of the subdirectories inside the Scene Builder's root directory; 'app' and 'runtime' (version 1.1 of Scene Builder). When you change the names of those directories to 'bin' and 'lib' respectively, selecting the home directory works (but breaks Scene Builder executable ofcourse).

Only 'workaround' is simply using the Scene Builder outside of Netbeans.

This was tested using Scene Builder 1.1 and NB 7.2 + 7.3beta.

Solution:

Fixed after 7.3 Beta1 and backported to 7.2.1 (now available at netbeans.org).

Either install 7.2.1 or update your 7.2 (you'll get the same set of patches).
