Creating UI using FXML and Scene Builder

You can use FXML to create any user interface, FXML is particularly useful for user interfaces that have large, complex scene graphs, forms, data entry, or complex animation. FXML is also well-suited for defining static layouts such as forms, controls, and tables. In addition, you can use FXML to construct dynamic layouts by including scripts.

We use the scene builder tool to create FXML. Scene Builder is a GUI tool which generates FXML.

Open Sample.fxml

1.) In your project double click on Sample.fxml

2.) The file is automatically opened in Scene Builder.

3.) Drag and drop the elements from library to workspace to create GUI.

4.) FXML is not a compiled language so you can preview it by pressing ctrl+p.
