Installing e(fx)clipse - what am I missing? [message #1723645]

I'm interesting in trying Java F/X to see if I like it better than Swing.

I found these instructions for adding e(fx)clipse to my existing copy of Eclipse (Mars Version 4.5.1 on Windows 10 Home): https://www.eclipse.org/efxclipse/install.html#for-the-lazy and followed them as closely as I could. I didn't get the variety of different bundles for Kepler, Indigo, etc. that the instructions predicted for the "e(fx)clipse - install" option so I just installed the sole bundle that appeared in that category. I completed the wizard and saw no installation errors. I restarted Eclipse as instructed.

I still can't get my F/X HelloWorld to compile. Basic classes like Application, Stage, EventHandler, StackPane and Scene are not recognized.

What additional step(s) do I have to do to get my classes to compile and run correctly?

Hi,

Right we abonded Luna and Kepler since a long time. I'll fix the page to
reflect that.

On your very problem. Is your project pointing to a JDK8-Install? Some
screen shots (including your project structure) might help to understand
what's going wrong.

You were right, Thomas, I had both a JDK-7 and a JDK-8 installed on this computer but was inadvertently pointing at the JDK-7.

I changed to point at the JDK-8 and restarted Eclipse but I still have the errors. I've included a few screen caps to show you what is going on. I'm happy to acquire others if these aren't sufficient.

Thomas, I found my problem. All I had to do was a CTRL-SHIFT-O and select the appropriate packages from the lists. All the error annotations are gone and the HelloWorld application works fine now.

I haven't used Eclipse much in a while so I've gotten rusty Smile

I wouldn't have made such silly mistakes if I hadn't been so rusty.

Thanks for your help!
