I'm attempting to get started using JavaFX, but when I try to compile Hello World, JavaFX Style, I get the error "package javafx does not exist". I uninstalled JDK (7) and JRE and installed JDK 8, which was suggested to help others with similar issues, however this did not help. Then I tried manually adding "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_05\jre\lib\ext\jfxrt.jar" to the classpath environment variable . Despite all this, I still get the same error.
My classpath, in case it helps: .;C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\QTJava.zip;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_05\jre\lib\ext\jfxrt.jar;
