Learning Javascript using Eclipse PHOTON IDE and Node.js. Created JavaScript project and pasted in the example code (see below). 

/**

 */
import javafx.stage.*;
import javafx.scene.*;
import javafx.animation.*;
import javafx.scene.effect.*;
import javafx.scene.shape.*;
import javafx.scene.input.*;
import javafx.scene.paint.*;

var balls = for(i in [0..<6]) {
    var c = Circle {
        translateX: (i*40)+90;  translateY: 30;
        radius: 18;
        fill: RadialGradient {
            focusX: 0.25;  focusY:0.25;
            proportional: true;
            stops: [
                Stop { offset: 0; color: Color.WHITE; } ,
                Stop { offset: 1; color: Color.BLACK; }
            ]
        };
    }
}

Stage {
    scene: Scene {
        content: Group {
            content: [
                Rectangle {
                    width: 380;  height: 250;  
                    opacity: 0.01;
                    onMouseClicked: 
                        function(ev:MouseEvent) { FX.exit(); }
                } , balls
            ]
            effect: Reflection {
                fraction: 0.25;  topOffset: -18;
                topOpacity: 0.5;  bottomOpacity: 0.125;
            }
        }
        fill: LinearGradient {
            endX: 0;  endY: 1;  proportional: true;
            stops: [
                Stop { offset: 0.74;  color: Color.TRANSPARENT; } ,
                Stop { offset: 0.75;  color: Color.BLACK } ,
                Stop { offset: 1;  color: Color.GRAY }
            ]
        }
    };
    style: StageStyle.TRANSPARENT
};

Timeline {
    keyFrames: for(i in [0..<sizeof balls]) {
        KeyFrame {
            time: i*200ms;
            action: function() {
                Timeline {
                    repeatCount: Timeline.INDEFINITE;
                    autoReverse: true;
                    keyFrames: [
                        at (0s) { balls[i].translateY => 30 } ,
                        at (1s) { balls[i].translateY => 230 
                            tween Interpolator.EASEIN }
                    ]
                }.play();
            }
        }
    }
}.play();

I get the following error:

C:\Users\andyh\workspace\BouncingBalls\src\BouncingBalls.js:4
import javafx.stage.*;
       ^^^^^^

This error looks like a CLASSPATH error, but I cant figure out how to resolve it. I tried making the project nature a Java project and added JavaFX to the libraries, but that doesn't seem tp have resolved it. Any ideas. Simple test programs without JavaFX work fine.

    Javascript and Java are completely different programming languages. JavaFX is part of Java you can't use in directly from Javascript. – greg-449 Jul 14 '18 at 12:11
  • Are you sure https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/deploy/javafx_javascript.html#BCEIBFGD – yaccoff Jul 14 '18 at 14:09
  • What have you done to make javafx callable in the project? – nitind Jul 14 '18 at 14:54
  • Nothing in that link says you can just import the javafx classes in to a Javascript program. The link is talking about communication between a JavaFX Application running in a browser and Javascript code. As of Java 9 this is all deprecated and most browsers don't support it - see [here](https://stackoverflow.com/q/19102000/2670892) – greg-449 Jul 14 '18 at 15:31
  • There may be ways to communicate between javafx and javascript. This does not mean that you can just throw some java code and some javascript code in a mixer and use both is a `.java` or a `.js` file without breaking the syntax. The functionality you're looking for here is deprecated now anyways, see https://stackoverflow.com/a/19103168/2991525 – fabian Jul 15 '18 at 02:55
