JavaFX in Eclipse IDE

Step 1: Install JavaFX Support in Eclipse


Open Eclipse IDE.

On the top menu bar, click:​


​
Help → Eclipse Marketplace…

In the Find box, type:​


​
e(fx)clipse

Press Enter or click Go.​

Find the result called:​


​
e(fx)clipse – JavaFX tooling for Eclipse

1.​ Click Install, accept the license terms, and follow the prompts.​

2.​ When Eclipse asks, click Restart Now.​

After restart, Eclipse will be ready to create JavaFX projects.

Step 2: Create a New JavaFX Project


Click:​
​
File → New → Other...
In the search box, type:​
​
JavaFX Project

1.​ Select JavaFX Project → click Next.​

2.​ Give your project a name (e.g., HelloJavaFX).​

3.​ Click Finish.​

Eclipse will now create a sample JavaFX project for you.

Step 3: (Optional) Add JavaFX SDK Manually


If Eclipse gives an error like “Cannot find JavaFX runtime components”, you’ll need to download
the JavaFX SDK.

1.​ Go to the official website:​


[Link]

2.​ Download the JavaFX SDK for your operating system.​

Extract it to a simple folder, e.g.​


​
C:\javafx-sdk-23\

3.​ In Eclipse, right-click your project → Properties → Java Build Path → Libraries →
Add External JARs...​

Go to:​
​
C:\javafx-sdk-23\lib
4.​ Select all .jar files → click Open → Apply and Close.​

Step 4: Set VM Arguments (for running)


Before you run your program:

Click:​
​
Run → Run Configurations...

1.​ Choose your project name under Java Application.​

2.​ Click the Arguments tab.​

In VM arguments, paste this (adjust path if needed):​


​
--module-path "C:\javafx-sdk-23\lib" --add-modules [Link],[Link]

3.​ Click Apply, then Run.​

Step 5: Sample JavaFX Program


Now create a new Java class called [Link] inside your project and paste this code:

import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];

public class HelloFX extends Application {


@Override
public void start(Stage stage) {
Label label = new Label("Welcome to JavaFX!");
Button button = new Button("Click Me");

[Link](e -> [Link]("You clicked the button!"));

VBox root = new VBox(10, label, button);


[Link]("-fx-padding: 20; -fx-alignment: center;");

Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 200);


[Link]("Simple JavaFX Example");
[Link](scene);
[Link]();
}

public static void main(String[] args) {


launch();
}
}

Step 6: Run the Program


●​ Click the green Run button at the top of Eclipse.​

A window should open that says:​


​
Welcome to JavaFX!

When you click the button, the text changes to:​


​
You clicked the button!
