Scene Builder is now open source, as a part of the OpenJFX project

Scene Builder is now open source, as a part of the OpenJFX project .

The whole Scene Builder functionality is provided, including the SB Kit API (designed for integration of SB features into third party tools) as well as the standalone SB application.
This code is made available under the terms of a BSD-style license, similar to JavaFX samples.
The only part of the product which remains closed is the native packaging/installer code.

Scene Builder source code is located in apps/scenebuilder/ in the OpenJFX repository .
Building and running the Scene Builder application from these sources can be done either of the following ways:
From NetBeans: open the SceneBuilderApp project and run it (you need a JDK 1.8 Java Platform configured)
From the command line: 
$ cd SceneBuilderApp
$ ant -Dplatforms.JDK_1.8.home=<path_to_JDK_home> run

JavaFX Scene Builder Tutorial updated wth Using Scene Builder with NetBeans, Eclipse and IntelliJ

JavaFX Scene Builder (Scene Builder) enables you to quickly design JavaFX application user interfaces by dragging a UI component from a library of UI components and dropping it into a content view area. The FXML code for the UI layout that you create in the tool is automatically generated in the background. To learn more about Scene Builder's features, see to JavaFX Scene Builder User Guide.

Scene Builder can be used as a standalone design tool, but it can also be used in conjunction with Java IDEs, so that you can use the IDE to write, build, and run the controller source code that you use with your application's user interface.
