Unable to import projects into E(fx)clipse

Question

I am a beginner to JavaFX 2.0. I am using Pro JavaFX 2: Definitive Guide by Apress . WHen I download the code and try to import it into Eclipse, I get an error that there are no projects to import.

I tried every possible way, using an archive, via file system, etc.

However, nothing seems to help.

Here are the code downloads: http://www.apress.com/9781430268727

Will someone please help me sort it out ?

Answer 1

The source is not organized as Eclipse projects so you can not import them. Create new projects and copy the sources from the Explorer

Answer 2

Those sources are IDE agnostic. You can either:

• Use Eclipse: install the Java FX plugin from here . Also note that on that page it tells you how to make a new Java FX project. Follow those steps and either: add the sources to your new projects afterwards or, right when you create it, chose as location the location of your sources

• Use NetBeans IDE. You can download it from here . It support Java FX out of the box . A tutorial on how to create a Java FX project with it can be found here .
