Re: custom FXML builders in SceneBuilder
Hi Tom, Sorry, I was a bit optimistic and found no time to look at it. I'll give a try this week.

Re: custom FXML builders in SceneBuilder
When Scene Builder 2.0 found a custom components, it instantiates it using FXMLLoader without making any specific builder setup. So FXMLLoader uses the default JavaFX builder factory. Since builders are deprecated, I'm not sure it make sense for SB to have dependency on them.

Re: custom FXML builders in SceneBuilder
IIRC we agreed while talking about the annotation replacement for builders that we'll later add a possibility to set a converter on properties through annotations - back then we only talked about constructors but this could be expanded to any property.
