I have installed JavaFX 2.0 SDK and now I would like to do an JavaFX application with Eclipse. But how can I use the javafx.*
classes in Eclipse?
The official JavaFX Eclipse plugin seem to be for JavaFx 1.2 and outdated.
When I try to install e(fx)clipse plugin, I get this error:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.

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
