I’m an experienced (Java, Eclipse & Maven) developer, and have used a couple of frameworks thus far. Every time I’m trying to start with something new, it seems like there are about a zillion configuration possible for downloading and installing it.
I’ve looked here for instructions, and all the near pages, but they seem out dated, the Eclipse plugin path is invalid, and when I install the latest version I’ve found no the site (2.0.2), it says that I have a newer version installed.
Also, the Maven setup in most posts I’ve read seems obscure.
I’m using:
- Windows 7
- Eclipse x64 Indigo
- JDK x64 1.6.0.24
- Maven 3.0.3
And I don’t recall installing the JavaFX.
What an I missing? Where can I read about the setup in order to start working with this framework?
JavaFX gets installed if you install the latest JDK 7 from Oracle (co-bundled).
You can find the Eclipse plugin here:

If your’re interested in Maven builds: I’ve recently released an initial version of Drombler FX, a modular RCP for JavaFX based on OSGi and Maven (POM-first):
