Building Scene Builder

[Johan Vos]

Hi Scott,

You can build SceneBuilder from the sources on bitbucket.

hg clone https://bitbucket.org/gluon-oss/scenebuilder
./gradlew build
Resulting binary is in build/libs

(note: This is the Gluon Open-Source edition, using the same sources
as those in OpenJFX).
