Hello Friends,
In this tutorial session, I have explained the complete process of setting up a JavaFX working environment in Eclipse 2022 using JDK V18.0. The same method will work with other latest previous versions of JDK like 15.0/16.0/17.0. I have explained everything from scratch to avoid all types of confusion/doubts and to achieve error-free installation for further development of JavaFX in eclipse. So I am giving all steps with important links below. Please have a look.
As we know JavaFX doesn’t come with JDK version 15.0/16.0/17.0/18.0, so we need to set up JavaFX SDK manually.
There are the following steps to set up a working environment in Eclipse for JavaFX.
Let’s Begin:
Step 1: First you need to download the latest Eclipse version that is compatible with the latest JDK Versions like 15.0/16.0/17.0/18.0.
Older versions of the eclipse are not compatible with the latest JDK. I have already verified and found lots of eclipse initialization errors. So please ignore the older version.

Step 2: Now we need to download JavaFX SDK separately.

Step 3: JDK 18.0 downloading and installation-

Step 4: Create a Sample JavaFX project in eclipse for testing.
Note: there is JavaFX plugin for eclipse but unfortunately it is not working after the installation. I don’t know why?
(not using e(fx) plugin to create a JavaFX project.)
Step 5: Let’s import JavaFX libs into our project. This is a very important step, without this we can not run our JavaFX example. Let’s do it together.
Step 6: Need to set VM arguments before the clean build step.
–module-path “C:UsersMac WinDownloadsopenjfx-18.0.1_windows-x64_bin-sdkjavafx-sdk-18.0.1lib” –add-modules javafx.controls,javafx.fxml
Step 7: Do a clean build and run the project.
