Hi I had Eclipse java ide installed on my mac and it was working fine with no problem. I decided I wanted to do some C++ or C coding so I downloaded Eclipse C++ ide. It installed but it doesn't really function. It opens in the workspace where the eclipse java would open and it doesn't display my code it says: Could not create the view: org.eclipse.jdt.ui.PackageExplorer. Also when I go to New to create a new c++ program it doesn't let me do anything it just says no applicable item in the drop down window. If anybody can give me any suggestions as to how to make my eclipse java ide and eclipse c++ ide work right I will appreciate it

Don't install both and try to open the same workspace. You can start
the Java IDE and use the Help->Install New Software to add the C++
plugins to create a combined Java and C++ IDE.

If you want to keep them separate, you need to point each to different
workspaces.
