Can't get Eclipse to run with Java FX

Alright so basically, I'm trying to run Eclipse with JavaFX, but then it gives me this error:

You are not running your eclipse instance with Java7 or Java8. The JavaFX tooling is disabled because of this.Make Java7/8 the default system java or adjust your eclipse.ini to pass -vm pointing to your Java7/8 install.

In case you want to turn off this check open your preferences and go to General > Startup and Shutdown and uncheck 'JavaFX Tooling Java Check'

Now I know it isn't pointing to the right SDK, but I have no idea how to change it, since I'm kind of new to this this stuff. I've already downloaded JDK 7.40 as well. I'm also using Ubuntu on a virtual machine, if that even matters anyway. Can anyone help me, I'd appreciate it.

I had the same issue. I tried re-installing Eclipse, but it wouldn't work. I had to completely remove the project and delete all the project files. After that, I re-started eclipse and created the project again. However, this time I made sure the project path included the Java FX library as shown in the screen shot. Java Build Path

I did this while I was creating the project and then I was able to create the project without any issues. Give this a try.

Apparently, you have installed 32bit Eclipse and 64bit JRE/JDK on a 64bit OS. Please use 64bit Eclipse and the problem will be solved. Please make sure JAVA_HOME And JRE_HOME is present in environment variables.

Pre-requirements: Install Java™ 8. Install Kepler SR2 (4.3.2) . The Kepler is still not supporting Java8. What to do? Open Eclipse Help > Install New Software… Enter the following URL into the ‘Work with’ field:

http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.3-P-builds/

Press ‘Enter’ Select category ‘Eclipse Java 8 Support (for Kepler SR2)’ Click ‘Next’ Click ‘Next’ Accept Licence Agreement Click ‘Finish’

Now jre8 is correctly located.

Now configure JavaFx Open Eclipse Help > Install New Software… Enter the following URL into the ‘Work with’ field:

http://download.eclipse.org/efxclipse/updates-released/0.9.0/site

Press ‘Enter’ Select category ‘Eclipse Java 8 Support (for Kepler SR2)’ Click ‘Next’ Click ‘Next’ Accept Licence Agreement Click ‘Finish’

It looks like the default java on your system is not java7. What do you get when opening a shell and execute java -version? Solution is to: A) make java7 the default java B) start eclipse with -vm
