There are two options:

1) EDIT: Since 7u35 (or smth near it) JavaFX was included into base JDK classpath so you can use JavaFX classes right away.

Just set up your projects to use fx libs:

JavaFX 2.0 API is pure Java. So you can create a new Java project and add sdk-path/rt/lib/jfxrt.jar to libraries to use JavaFX in that project.

For cobundled builds in JDK7 path would be next jdk-path/jre/lib/jfxrt.jar

2) Use e(fx)clipse plugin: http://www.eclipse.org/efxclipse/index.html
