JavaFX Composer Obsolescence

JavaFX Composer applies only to JavaFX 1.x, which is obsolete. JavaFX Composer cannot be used for JavaFX 2.x and will never be updated for use for JavaFX 2.x, as the two versions of JavaFX have completely different bases. The last version of NetBeans IDE that supports JavaFX 1.x and JavaFX Composer is NetBeans IDE 6.9.1. JavaFX 2.0 support is available starting in NetBeans IDE 7.1.
