How do I create a JavaFX project using the latest version of JavaFX?
Answered
If I click File->New->Project... and select JavaFX I am given only the option for a JavaFX 2.0 project. I would like to use JavaFX 8 that ships with Java 8. How would I use the latest version of JavaFX instead of 2.0.

It's a sort of typo, indeed.
The current version of JavaFX bundled with SDK is used when creating new
JavaFX project.
The cause is that back in 2013 the current version of JavaFX was 2.0,
and nobody has updated the description since then.
When a new JavaFX project is created the version of JavaFX bundled with SDK is used. With Java 8 it's obviously JavaFX 8.
JavaFX 2.0 is the minimal supported version, though.
We probably need to update the description to avoid such misunderstanding in the future.
