How do I import JavaFX into Eclipse?

Question

I have the latest JDK (update 65), but Eclipse doesn't even recognize JavaFX when I try to import it.

How do I fix this and import it?

Have a look at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15592775/javafx-is-not-recognized-in-eclipse and http://download.java.net/general/javafx/eclipse/tutorial.html — Balwinder Singh, Nov 20 '15 at 04:36
Always specify the JDK version, not only the update number. The "latest" for you when you wrote the question, may not be the same "latest" for who is reading now. — henriqueor, Apr 22 '20 at 23:01

Then create new project File > New > Project(don't select Java project).
Then Select JavaFX > JavaFX Project
Then click Next, give project name and click Finish

Download JavaFX in here JavaFX
Extract the folder and place it downloads folder (or anyplace)

Consider adding all steps to your answer, since "above steps" can change, which could break your answer. – user3071284 Nov 20 '15 at 17:20
