JavaFX Scene Builder is a visual layout tool that lets users quickly design JavaFX application user interfaces without coding. It provides a simple interface for quickly laying out UI controls like buttons, labels, and text fields, and connecting them to application logic. Scene Builder also offers more advanced features such as styling with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and binding data to UI elements.

Using JavaFX Scene Builder allows for rapid development of graphical user interfaces without requiring manual coding.
Features:

• Drag and drop UI controls — Drag and drop UI controls from the library to quickly create a UI.

• Scene Graph — Visualize the structure of your application's user interface.

• CSS styling — Style your application with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).

• Data binding — Bind data to UI elements to quickly update the UI when the underlying data changes.

• Customizable library — Add custom controls and components to the library.

• Integrated FXML — Generate FXML code to define the structure of your UI.

• Preview — Preview your UI on different screen sizes and resolutions.

• Internationalization — Create UI designs that are suitable for multiple languages.

• Export — Export your designs as FXML code, images, or PDFs.

• Platform and IDE support — Supports Windows, Mac, and Linux. Integrates with popular IDEs such as Eclipse, IntelliJ, and NetBeans.

• Reusable components — Reuse components across different projects.

• JavaFX integration — Easily integrate JavaFX application logic with your design.

• Design validation — Validate your design against design conventions and best practices.

• Version control — Manage different versions of your design with version control.

• Accessibility — Make your applications accessible with support for accessibility guidelines.

• Documentation — Generate documentation for your design.

• Customizable UI — Customize the UI for the Scene Builder workspace.

• Plugins — Extend the functionality of Scene Builder with plugins.

• Tutorials — Get started quickly with tutorials and code samples.

1. JavaFX Scene Builder is an easy-to-use application, ideal for quickly creating scenes for JavaFX applications. 2. Working with this software is straightforward, as it contains a library of components that can be dragged and dropped onto the scene canvas. 3. The interface is intuitive, with sections for modifying components, styling, and editing the scene's layout. 4. Additionally, the ability to preview the scene or application within the software is a great feature. 5. The Scene Builder also allows you to customize the application by using CSS styling. 6. However, I found that the software was quite slow and unresponsive at times. 7. It often takes several seconds to load a scene and some components can be hard to select. 8. The software could also benefit from additional tutorials and better documentation. 9. I also noticed that some of the components didn't work correctly when I tried to resize them. 10. Overall, JavaFX Scene Builder is a useful tool, but it could be improved in some areas.

JavaFX Scene Builder is a user interface designing tool that allows developers to create and edit graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for JavaFX applications without writing any code. With Scene Builder, users can drag and drop UI components onto a scene, arrange them as desired, and preview the results in real-time. It supports various layouts, controls, and FX components, including custom controls and third-party extensions. Scene Builder also enables users to export their designs as FXML files, which can be loaded into a JavaFX application at runtime. Additionally, it provides a convenient way to apply styles and CSS to UI elements for consistent branding and theming.
