custom controls in SceneBuilder

[Werner Lehmann]

The preview works fine with at least one of my custom controls, quite 
unexpectedly (in a good way :). Then again, there is trouble with 
resource bundles: it doesnt resolve my %LOCALIZED strings and bombs 
instead. I'd be happy to see the untranslated strings instead.

But my point is not about the preview, of course. Fully agree on the PI 
thing, don't like them either because they would repeat information 
(manually) which is available in Eclipse already, namely the project 
dependencies.

I am hoping for a SceneBuilder CLI which allows to provide the classpath.

Daniel, if you are reading this, any chance to get support for this? I 
see that there are a few classpath related issues in Jira but resolving 
those by showing a classpath popup is not an ideal solution for IDE 
integration...
