Using JavaFX (JDK 1.8.0_05) in Eclipse Luna does not work

Question

I have a fresh install of Java 8 (JDK 1.8.0_05 on Windows 7 32 bit) and Eclipse Luna. When I try to build a simple JavaFX program Eclipse shows the following message in the editor:

Access restriction: The type 'Application' is not API('C:\Program Files\Java\jre8\lib\ext\jfxrt.jar')

If I use the javac on the command line to compile the program every thing works fine.

Any hints how to solve this Problem?

Answer 1

Finally , adding Access rules on ".classpath" file in eclipse project solved this issue for me.

<classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER/org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.StandardVMType/JavaSE-1.8">
<accessrules>
            <accessrule kind="accessible" pattern="javafx/**"/>
        </accessrules>
    </classpathentry>   

Answer 2

This solved the problem for me:

• Opened the properties of the JRE of the Eclipse project using the context menu on the JRE
• Instead of "Execution environment" I choose "Alternate JRE" and then "jdk1.8.0_5" - eventually you have to configure that "Alternate JRE" before
