I raised this December 4th, I understand everyone is busy, but this hasn't even been triaged. Did I fill out the wrong fields the JIRA?
Cannot set layout constraints for included FXML (fx:include) - http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/DTL-6915 When including another FXML node (via File -> Import -> FXML) there is no way to set its layout attributes using the Scene Builder tool, the layout panel is empty. For example, if I wished to set the following child.fxml to fill its parent VBox vertically this cannot be done using the UI. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?import java.lang.*?> <?import javafx.scene.layout.*?> <VBox maxHeight="-Infinity" maxWidth="-Infinity" minHeight="-Infinity" minWidth="-Infinity" prefHeight="500.0" prefWidth="500.0" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1"> <children> <fx:include source="child.fxml" /> </children> </VBox> FXML seems to support this "under the hood", if I manually edit the file, scene builder preview (and my actual app using FXMLLoader) work correctly. <VBox maxHeight="-Infinity" maxWidth="-Infinity" minHeight="-Infinity" minWidth="-Infinity" prefHeight="500.0" prefWidth="500.0" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1"> <children> <fx:include source="child.fxml" VBox.vgrow="ALWAYS"/> </children> </VBox> According to my colleague this was possible in an older version of Scene Builder Regards, Adam.
