Answer 1

Refer to the documentation on using NetBeans JavaFX support and configuring a NetBeans JavaFX platform. Additionally, make sure you have installed JavaFX. Try with the latest NetBeans nightly build, as the NetBeans 7.1 build does have some bugs in it’s JavaFX support. If it still doesn’t work, file an issue with NetBeans

JavaFX support for Macintosh and Linux is only in early access form at the moment and would be unlikely to work out the box in NetBeans 7.1, but perhaps could be made to work if you extracted the Macintosh or Linux JavaFX early access builds and followed the NetBeans JavaFX platform setup documentation.
