JavaFX IDE Imports

I searched around on forums for a bit last night and I couldn't seem to find this answer or maybe my keywords were specific enough. I know there has to be a way and I am sure I am not the only one that will want this for future JavaFX apps.

When building a JavaFX application, a majority of the time we are going to WANT to use the imports for javafx not java.swing. I made a few goes at trying to find under IDEA default settings for some settings options to where I could just change the PRIORITY I guess that java pulls in a list of imports? That way its always defaulting to javafx options before any other.

Does anyone know if this exists in IDEA and where those options are located?

Chris;

Are you looking at something like this? Or something else?

Happy coding,
Ken

This is actually what I was looking for. After bringing up the menu in my IDE, it opened another menu which gave MUCH more options than the example shows on the page.

Thank you.

Yes and no.

The way they are doing in that link provided, they are individually excluding them. I don't really want to permanently exclude classes individually, unless it is the only way. I just want to tell IDEA that while I am working on my current JavaFX project, that I want the very first import for it too either look for or see to be a javafx.* import and stop going to java.swing first. ;)
