I recently installed IntelliJ and SceneBuilder on Ubuntu, and when I want to open a .fxml in IntelliJ it asks me to locate the executable. But I can't seem to find anything executable which has something to do with SceneBuilder. I just downloaded and installed the .deb-file of SceneBuilder. What to do?

The executable is

/opt/SceneBuilder/SceneBuilder

Why? That's why.

  1. dpkg -L scenebuilder | grep bin

    gives no output, ok, let's continute with step 2

  2. dpkg -L scenebuilder | grep desktop

    gives

    /opt/SceneBuilder/SceneBuilder.desktop
    

    and

    grep 'Exec=' /opt/SceneBuilder/SceneBuilder.desktop
    

    gives

    Exec=/opt/SceneBuilder/SceneBuilder
    

    and that's your executable.


You could also use

find /opt/SceneBuilder -type f -executable

but in the installation are so many attributes set incorrectly, that makes no sense. The output of the command has 99 entries.

    @Recusiwe Don't thank A.B.! ;-) If you like the answer, just click the little grey under the "0" now turning it into beautiful green. If you do not like the answer, click on the little grey down-arrow below the 0, and if you really like the answer, click on the little grey checkmark and the little up-arrow... If you have any further questions, just ask another one! – Fabby Sep 18 '15 at 11:06
