We would love to hear you feedback. Let us know how we can improve the plug-in.

Known issues:
- Version 1.3.0 supports both JavaFX 1.3 and 1.2.x. To switch from one JavaFX version to another go to Window/Preferences/JavaFX/Installed JavaFX Runtimes and check the version you want to use. Restart Eclipse. In the next release, we will make it so you don’t have to restart Eclipse.

- When you create a new JavaFX project for the first time and click to add JavaFX SDK, the Configure button doesn’t do anything. It’s a bug. Before creating a project, go to Window/Preferences/JavaFX/Installed JavaFX Runtime and add JavaFX SDK there.
