JavaFX 1.1 On Linux: NetBeans Plugin Howto

[size=medium]0) You should install JDK 1.6 update 12 and NetBeans 6.5 first.

1) goto [url]http://dlc.sun.com.edgesuite.net/netbeans/updates/6.5/uc/final/stable/patch2/javafx2/[/url], download all nbm files except the [b]org-netbeans-modules-javafx-sdk-win.nbm[/b] file.

2) extract the [b]org-netbeans-modules-javafx-sdk-mac.nbm[/b] file. (nbm file is zip format)

3) goto the extracted directory, do these:

a) replace the [b]info/info.xml[/b] with my new one.

b) delete all files in the [b]META-INF[/b] directory.

c) replace the [b]netbeans/config/Modules/org-netbeans-modules-javafx-sdk-mac.xml[/b] file with [b]org-netbeans-modules-javafx-sdk-linux.xml[/b]

d) replace the [b]netbeans/modules/org-netbeans-modules-javafx-sdk-mac.jar[/b] file with [b]org-netbeans-modules-javafx-sdk-linux.jar[/b]

4) create a new zip file from the extracted directory, rename it to [b]org-netbeans-modules-javafx-sdk-lin.nbm[/b], replace the [b]org-netbeans-modules-javafx-sdk-mac.nbm[/b] file with this new one.

5) open netbeans and install all the nbm files (ignore the nbm file signature warning).

6) restart netbeans and enjoy JavaFX on Linux, you can even debug JavaFX on Linux.
