You just need to specify the fully-qualified classname, i.e. packagename.ClassName. So, if I understand your project structure correctly, your controller class is scaterChartController1 and it is in a package called testPac.view1,2. So your fx:controller attribute should have the value fx:controller = "testPac.view.scaterChartController".

In SceneBuilder you can set this in the "Controller" pane which is in the bottom left of the screen (expand it if necessary):

enter image description here

Footnotes:

  1. You should follow proper naming conventions, so all class names should begin with an upper case letter. scaterChartController is not a proper class name according to the standard convention. Similarly, package names should be all lower case, so "a package called testPac" also violates the convention.

  2. The package name is evident from the first line of code. I am assuming you have a package name of view, so the first line of code in the controller class will be

    package testPac.view ;

    Modify the fx:controller attribute accordingly if the package is different to that.

    thank you, I must of spent an hour looking for that Controller drop down. When I first open up builder, it's located at the very bottom left hand corner - hidden in plain view. – Jim Nov 07 '17 at 16:34
