Note: If you get this message when you add JDK 11:

For the first time only:

  • Download JavaFX SDK for your operating system and unzip to a desired location.

  • Open Eclipse and create a string substitution variable under Preferences->Run/Debug->String Substitution, named PATH_TO_FX and pointing to the JavaFX 11 lib folder.

  • Create a User Library under Eclipse -> Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Build Path -> User Libraries -> New. Name it JavaFX11 and include the jars under the lib folder from JavaFX 11.

Clone the sample, open it with Eclipse, and make sure the paths for Java 11 and JavaFX 11 match those on your machine.

Build the project and run with Run configurations-> Java Application -> HelloFX.

Note: Edit Run configurations... -> Arguments and make sure the option:

is not selected.
