JavaFX install problems [message #530799]

I just loaded JavaFX 1.3 onto my Microsoft XP desktop.

I am running Eclipse 3.5.2. My best recollection is that I selected the "Classic Eclipse" when I downloaded it a few months ago. It has been working fine. I also just loaded the Eclipse plugin for JavaFX today as part of trying to get JavaFX to work.

When I try to create a new JavaFX project, I am able to navigate to File\New\Project...\JavaFX\JavaFX Project, but I get the following message:

"A valid JavaFX SDK was not detected."

I've gone to the Build Path, and put in the following:
c:\Program Files\JavaFX\javafx-sdk1.3\src.zip
because the Filepicker was preset to find a .jar or a .zip, and this was the only file of either type in the new JavaFX directory.

Any thoughts as to what I may be doing wrong?

Side issue, the button for "JavaFX Script Documentation" on the toolbar was going to an invalid address when it tried to launch the browser. So I tried setting the BuildPath to this:
c:\Program Files\JavaFX\javafx-sdk1.3\
and it was able to find the browser was able to find the \docs\index.html file and open it. But this buildpath value does not work either, and generates the same error when trying to create a JavaFX project.

Many thanks in advance!

Figured it out.

I had to load the 1.2.1 version of JavaFX instead of 1.3.

As for the buildpath, a simple test showed that we are supposed to enter the root directory ("\javafx-sdk1.2") and not the src.zip file.

Whew!

Did you download this plug-in http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/exadel-javafx-plug ? I just updated the site with version plug-in version 1.3 which works with JavaFX 1.3. Eclipse update site points to version 1.3 as well.

Please give a try and let us know how it works.

It also works with JavaFX 1.2.x but requires restarting Eclipse after selecting a new JavaFX SDK. We will fix it in next release.

Hi Max -

This is very exciting to hear about your work! I have tried to do the install and am having a bit of trouble (part of being new at this). A post on the difficulties can be found on your forum at Exodel.org.

Thanks,

Phil Freihofner
