Install e(fx)eclipse in Eclipse Mars

Question

I tried to install e(fx)eclipse tools in Eclipse Mars but it not successful and show that message when I start Eclipse:

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

Could anyone help me about this?

As stated an update might be everything you need. I had a similar issue under Linux once, where there were two JVMs installed and the older one was in the projects build path. You can check under the projects properties -> java build path if Java 1.8 is shown there.

Regarding tools: I don't think you'll need any. Try and get familiar with the JavaFX Scene Builder. It makes building a simple GUI super easy.
