2.
Fireup your Eclipse IDE if you have not done so already
3.
e(fx)clipse is an extension for your Eclipse IDE which is delivered as a so called p2 repository. Extensions like this can be installed using the "Install New Software"-Wizard
4.
The Eclipse SDK does not know about the location of the e(fx)clipse p2 repository so you need teach it where to find the current repo which is located at http://www.efxclipse.org/p2-repos/releases/latest/
Dependeing on the state of the Juno Repository you'll also have to add the Xtext release repository which is located at http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/tmf/xtext/updates/composite/latest/.
5.
Check the e(fx)clipse entry in the tree (make sure the "Contact all update sites during install to find required software" is checked!)
6.
Go through the wizard and let p2 do its job
7.
When requested: Restart Eclipse
8.
Open the preferences
9.
Search the JavaFX entry in the left tree and enter the location to your JavaFX SDK

5.
e(fx)clipse has 2 other dependencies (Xtext 2.3, e4 0.12) the default Eclipse SDK doesn't know about. So you need to add their p2 repository as well.
The Xtext one is found at http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/tmf/xtext/updates/composite/latest/.
There's currently no stable URL provided for the e4 repo but you can find the one from latest 0.12 M-build at http://download.eclipse.org/e4/downloads/.
