Config error for Scene Builder in Netbeans

Question

I'm trying to set up Scene Builder in Netbeans. I know I have to go into window->options->java->javafx and then enter the path to the Scene Builder home. But I get this error message for everything I submit:

enter image description here

I'm on Windows 7 and am running JDK 1.8 update 40. Netbeans is version 8.0.2.

I'm using this compile of Scene Builder: http://gluonhq.com/products/downloads/

I know the directory after installing Scene Builder is C:\Program Files (x86)\SceneBuilder but if I use this path I still get the error.

Since most of the resources for Scene Builder are dated due to Oracle no longer providing binaries I can't find much on the subject of configuration for IDE's. Does anyone have experience in setting this up in Netbeans and know what path I should be using?

The scene builder application has to be located in:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\JavaFX Scene Builder 2.0

This buried patch is how I figured it out:

http://hg.netbeans.org/jet-main/rev/b3aa470c5d64

1.10  #WINDOWS
1.11  WIN_WKIP=C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Oracle\\JavaFX Scene Builder $ver$;C:\\Program Files\\Oracle\\JavaFX Scene Builder $ver$

I'll check once I get home and update accordingly, thank you for your reply. – d.lanza38 Apr 06 '15 at 18:53
Did you have any luck? – Brian Apr 08 '15 at 15:50
Sorry for the late reply, but no it did not work. I have the `SceneBuilder.exe` located at `C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\JavaFX Scene Builder 2.0` but when I specify the folder location in Netbeans I still get the same error message. I apologize if I'm not looking in the right place, but I do not know how to find information at the link you provided. I don't see any comment thread or solution section. – d.lanza38 May 05 '15 at 00:58
Added a snippet from the link that was the clue. The location of it is hardcoded to that path. It wasn't finding it for me until I ensured that that's where it was. Hope you get there! – Brian May 06 '15 at 01:48

Download JavaFX Scene Builder from https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javafxscenebuilder-1x-archive-downloads.html (you have to sign in) and install it.
Open your installed NetBeans
Click Tools > Options > Java > JavaFX >
Scene Builder Home: browse to : C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\JavaFX Scene Builder 1.1 or C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\JavaFX Scene Builder 2.0 based on your installation.
Click OK.
