Answer 1

As an aside, it says it won't install the FX plugin because you are missing org.eclipse.e4.core.contexts bundle. Were you trying to install it into Eclipse Indigo, or 3.8? Or did you follow the instructions on the website and download eclipse 4.2 before you started?

Answer 2

If you don't mind working with java 8, you won't have to jump through any hoola hoops. Just set that as your default jre and javafx imports work out of the box.
