JavaFX 1.1 NetBeans Plugin on Linux
The following tip is based on Weiqi Gao's original post on JavaFX 1.0 On Linux: NetBeans Plugin. The method outlined in that post does not work with JavaFX 1.1. First you will need to install JDK 1.6 update 12 and NetBeans 6.5.
- Download all nbm files from here, except the org-netbeans-modules-javafx-sdk-win.nbm file.
- Extract the org-netbeans-modules-javafx-sdk-mac.nbm file. (An nbm file is in a zip format)
- Go to the extracted directory, and do the following steps:
- Replace the info/info.xml with my new one.
- Delete all files in the META-INF directory.
- Replace the netbeans/config/Modules/org-netbeans-modules-javafx-sdk-mac.xml file with
org-netbeans-modules-javafx-sdk-linux.xml
- Replace the netbeans/modules/org-netbeans-modules-javafx-sdk-mac.jar
file with org-netbeans-modules-javafx-sdk-linux.jar - Create a new zip file from the extracted directory, rename it to org-netbeans-modules-javafx-sdk-lin.nbm and replace the org-netbeans-modules-javafx-sdk-mac.nbm file with this new one.
- Open NetBeans and install all the nbm files (ignore the nbm file signature warning).
- Restart NetBeans and enjoy JavaFX on Linux, you can even debug JavaFX on Linux.
The new files can be downloaded here.

Indeed.
It worked with OpenJDK Client VM (build 1.6.0_0-b12, mixed mode, sharing)
I just had to chmod +x netbeans65/netbeans-6.5/javafx2/javafx-sdk/bin/* in order to compile.
I didn't have time to do much with it yet, but thanks anyway!!

Hi Liu, How are you?
So, I did everything that you sad, but I get an error as I try to compile any code in JavaFX. "
init: deps-jar: Error: JAVA_HOME is not defined, cannot find "java" command. /home/arilson/NetBeansProjects/hello/nbproject/build-impl.xml:143: exec returned: 1"
My JAVA_HOME is declared, but it gets this error just to JavaFX.
Do you have any idea?
Thanks
