1. Download the JavaFX SDK tar gz for Linux from: http://osum.fontysvenlo.org/javafx/javafx-sdk1.0-linux-unnoficial.tar.gz 2. Unpack it on a directory of your choice. 3. If you don’t have netbeans 6.5, download NetBeans 6.5 for linux from netbeans.org or get a NetBeans 6.5 DVD from me or Mr van Heesch 4. Install and run NetBeans 5. Go to Tools > Plugins -> Downloaded tab and click on Add plugins... Perhaps you will need to modify the access rights of the plugin files first! 6. Browse to the folder where you unpacked the JavaFX SDK and select the folder “netbeans_plugin”. Select all the files there and click “ok” 7. Click “install”, accept everything and restart netbeans when prompted. Perhaps you will need to mkdir a folder 'javafx2' in your netbeans folder first! 8. Execute the install.sh script on the JavaFX SDK folder. Type in your netbeans 6.5 path when asked.
