Right, so I think I got the issue sorted out.



TL;DR, you HAVE to use the archtype. Netbeans WILL NOT adjust its own 
runtime "nbactions.xml" file if you decided to create a barebones 
project and add JavaFX later, which is why runtime components are 
missing and following the advice for Ant will fix the issue.


In Netbeans 12.3 Beta(what I'm using now) everything works.



In other words, as of Netbeans 12-3, **don't do this**:



New Project -> Java with Maven -> Java Application -> add JavaFX from 
maven central



do this:



New Project -> Java with Maven -> Simple JavaFX Application Archtype(Gluon)



They changed the UI in Netbeans 12-3 beta, so the documentation will 
need to be updated for it.
