Yes, I will need to delete all the projects and re-import in order to
create the new screenshot. The separate plugin support is explained under
"Configure Eclipse to use the latest JDK". Each Eclipse release requires a
plugin for the simultaneously released Java version, It is "fixed" in the
next version, but then you need another plugin for the new release.

If you are importing for the first time, no project will already be in the
workspace, so it doesn't matter. If you are re-importing it's up to you if
you want to ignore them or not, I would say.

That is explained in the main page -
https://wiki.openjdk.org/display/OpenJFX/Building+OpenJFX, or at least
should be, as it isn't an Eclipse-specific step. There is a mention of this
in the Using Eclipse section.
