Jfoenix: import issue in new scenebuilder

[mokun]

Hi,

Awesome work on porting the material design into javaFX!

Your website setup said I can "Import JAR/FXML file" in scene builder

However, I downloaded gluon's updated scene-builder from [(http://gluonhq.com/labs/scene-builder/]

Version 8.2.0
Date: 2016-05-18

it won't let me import your jfoenix.jar

is there any simple way to make jfoenix work with the latest scene-builder ?

Thx much!

It worked for me, but it did not make the JFXTreeTableColumn available as an object. Tested with Scenebuilder 8.0.0 and 8.2.0 from gluonhq

it worked for me too no problem to import the jar
tested with 8.2.0 from gluonhq

Please note that not all JFoenix controls are scene builder compatible yet. thanks

But my question is how do you successfully import a jar? what are the exact steps taken ?

If I choose "File", 'Import", there are only two options, namely "FXML" and "Media".

It would open up a FileChooser and I have to type in "*" in the "File name:" textfield in order to highlight the jfoenix.jar file.

Obviously, "FXML" restricts files to *.fxml while "Media" restricts files to all kinds of audio/video format such as "jpg. png, mp3...."

I've tried both of them and a yellow note popping up saying "Failed to import..."

.jar file is not supposed to be imported this way in scenebuilder.

am I missing something?

I tried the original Oracle version 2.0 scene builder with the same result.

yes you miss something just click on the top, and right of the search field library in scene builder see the attach file image
Then click on JAR/FXML manager a windows will popup select Add Library/FXML from the file systeme . I accord you it's not easy to find this button it's not ergonomic and userfriendly.

Hi,
I've faced two issues with the latest scene builder from gluon (x64 version) and jfoenix-1.0.0.
I already imported the jfoenix jar file.
I am using windows 8.1 Enterprise (64-bit operating system, x64 based processor)

ISSUE 1:
I add a border pane and put a JFXButton in the center area. It's OK. I can press ctrl+p to play with the preview; the button is clickable and the rippler effect shines.
I now save it an fxml file, close scenebuilder and double click on the fxml file.
It opens and I can't see the jfxbutton no more. There is a warning sign on the button's shortcut in the hierarchy view on the left hand side of scenebuilder. It tooltips "unresolved class jfxbutton", I am wondering how it is possible, since I can still see all JFX components on the library's custom components view of scenebuilder.
I've found that If I remove all the jfoenix import statements on the top of the fxml file and replace all jfx simple class names with their full class name (xml tags with full class names), it works fine; I can open the fxml file by double clicking on it!
If I drag a new jfxbutton and put it somewhere inside the design area, the unresolved issue is solved.
Finally, i I drag the fxml file into a newly opened scenebuilder instance; guess what: the fxml content is shown correctly.

ISSUE 2:
I add a borderpane and a jfxtabpane in its center.
If I try to add a Tab into the tabpane, scenebuilder suspends (I did this process many times and it acts the same every time); it hangs and I have no way but to terminate its jvm process from windows task manager.

Note:
I've tried adding jfoenix jar file to classpath (setting app.classpath in file SceneBuilder.cfg), no help (see issue #105); Surprisingly, it worked right after setting the correct classpath; but it soon started to fail again when I changed the classpath to some wrong path, open the scenebuilder, then close it and set the classpath again to the correct path and open it again.

BTW,
another way of making scene builder know some custom component(s) is to put the custom jar file into this path: %APPDATA%\Scene Builder\Library\

I've opened an issue here: gluon scenebuilder #91
