Installed Java 7u9 and Eclipse (Juno) but Eclipse doesn't see JavaFX2
eclipse, java, javafx-2
Solution
Unfortunately, for jdk7u9, Eclipse does not add the `jfxrt.jar` file from your `jre\lib` directory to the project build path libraries when we create a new Java project. You have to do it manually or you can install the e(fx)clipse plugin to Eclipse, which will make your JavaFX development easier :)
Eclipse is following the default settings for the JRE 7u9 default boot classpath (which is to not include `jfxrt.jar`). A future JRE version will place `jfxrt.jar` on the boot classpath so you won't need to manually add the `jfxrt.jar` file to project build path libraries. You can track this JRE feature.
Problem
Everywhere that I read, as of Java 7u7, JavaFX2 is bundled with the JRE and JDK. So I am confused as to why when I run Eclipse, it tells me "The import javafx cannot be resolved". I have no other JDKs or JREs installed but 7u9, so why would I not be able to see JavaFX2 from Eclipse? Many thanks :)
