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?

You can try rebooting to see if file associations get updated. – TheWanderer Sep 18 '15 at 00:55

@Zacharee1 And why should a reboot solve the problem? – A.B. Sep 18 '15 at 05:10

Please add the file name of the deb file into your question. And give me a ping with @A.B. – A.B. Sep 18 '15 at 05:13

The .deb-file I installed was named scenebuilder-8.0.0.deb, @A.B. – Recusiwe Sep 18 '15 at 06:39

The executable is
/opt/SceneBuilder/SceneBuilder
Why? That's why.
dpkg -L scenebuilder | grep bin
gives no output, ok, let's continute with step 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.

1@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
