You must install Java 7. Seems like it is possible: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13536667/how-to-install-java-jdk-7-on-snow-leopard

I have downloaded the 2.00 version from a link I received in email send to me.

When I try to run setup error window pops up that says:
"An error occurred while trying to replace the existing file:
DeleteFile failed; code 32.
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."

I have tried downloading new install file, and uninstall the old version, but nothing seems to work.

Can someone help me... tnx.

Make sure that the IDE is not currently running.

It wasn't running, but I installed it into different folder and it worked...

Thanks for the help...

Oracle's Scene Builder 2.0 can be found in their archive: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javafxscenebuilder-1x-archive-2199384.html but it's no longer updated.

You can probably also use Gluon's Scene Builder: http://gluonhq.com/products/scene-builder/ which is still being actively developed and it's based on Oracle's source code.

Downloaded and installed but totally dont know how to relate it with B4J.. It simply "download" a fxml file by opening a web browswer.. and if i drag the file to the scene builder, seems like the file is the copied one but not the one in the B4J project??

From within B4J, with a saved project opened, click on Designer>Create New Layout and it should automatically open up Scene Builder. Later on, your saved layout files will be listed under Create New Layout and you can edit them with Scene Builder by clicking on them from within B4J. Don't forget to save your layout files from within Scene Builder.

It looks like the .Net Framework is not configured properly. Try to reinstall it.
Might also be a display driver issue.

Which version of Windows are you using?

Hi, I'm able to compile one very simple project but I cannot run it. I use the last version of B4J and JDK 8.0.25.
Do I still need Oracle's Scene Builder or do I need to update JDK or something else?

Thank you.

From B4J homepage:
Installation
1. Java JDK v8 (8u40+)

You're using java 8u25, seems you need to upgrade the Jdk

Thank you so much.
Since my post, I have installed the latest version of JDK and that solved my problem.
Thank you @inakigarm and @Erel
