Eclipse

Step 1: install latest version of Eclipse

Step 2: ensure JavaFx available on Eclipse class path. (Note: Eclipse requires JavaFx to be specifically installed)

Java 11 (and above) where JavaFx no longer part of Java installation:

1. Download and install/unzip the JavaFX SDK from Open JavaFx
2. Add the following two lines to eclipse.ini file (located in Eclipse installation) with location of JavaFx SDK substituted:

-Dosgi.framework.extensions=org.eclipse.fx.osgi
-Defxclipse.java-modules.dir=<path to JavaFx SDK lib folder>

Java 9/10 add the following to eclipse.ini file (located in Eclipse installation):

-Dosgi.framework.extensions=org.eclipse.fx.osgi

Java 8 ensure jfxrt.jar is installed in the lib folder (available in Oracle Java 8 installation)

Older Java versions on linux may only support GTK2. To resolve add the following environment variable:

export SWT_GTK3=0

Step 3: drag the button to your Eclipse IDE to install OfficeFloor

Should this not find the OfficeFloor features, please manually install with following steps:

1. Within your Eclipse IDE go to install new software (typically Help -> Install New Software ...)
2. Add the OfficeFloor update site: https://github.com/officefloor/eclipse/raw/site
3. Check OfficeFloor and install

Step 4: build your application with OfficeFloor
