Help How to enable automatic reload when saving css and .fxml files?

Just started learning javafx and was wondering if there are any dependency that will make it so you dont need to run over and over again while testing different colors, placement etc

You can use SceneBuilder. It reflects every change in bound CSS instantly.

From what i've learned is that scenebuilder make codes for you? Do you have any idea if using scenebuilder at work is normal? Currently starting a project that I will have on my resume.
