Great question. I remember having the same problem when I started. Here is a little step by step guide.

1) Make a new JavaFx project (This is actually the same as a Java project, it just comes with a more suitable skeleton)
2) If you're getting errors like 'Can't find javafx.application' add the jfxrt.jar by right clicking on the libraries and select 'Add folder/Jar' You will have to browse to your jdk folder and find jfxrt.jar. Here is where it is located in my jdk:
/jdk1.7.0_15/jre/lib/jfxrt.jar
3) For the third step I suggest checking out this example. This example comes with sample code and I used it to copy and paste till I got a little more comfortable in javafx.
