Novice question...
How can Eclipse simply edit and compile
a Java file without creating a new project?
All I want to do is edit
and compile this file:
HelloWorld.java
I am at a loss over something so easy! :)
I have read the Eclipse docs, all the ways
to link projects and folders with disk folders,
and I am obviously missing something obvious.
Thanks for any tips!
Cheers, Joel

1. Why would you want to have a java file outside the project anyway? If you
are learning I would assume you want to keep all your learning stuff
somewhat organized. Keeping it in the project with the name like Java101
would be a good start.
2. Some times reading to much documentation can confuse people. I am
reffering to your "linking files to a project..... etc". It hapened to me
quite a few times. All that you have to do is create a Java Project.
(File -> New -> Project -> JavaProject), then create a new Class: File ->
New -> Class, give it a name, select a checkbox that will generate main()
method in your new class, type "syso" -> CTRL+SPACE (which will generate
System.out.println(""); statement placing a cursor right in between the
quotes, type "Hello World" and click on the running men.
All this should take no more then 20 sec.
Good Luck

Joel,
The Eclipse help states ... "In the Workbench, all resources reside in
projects." .. So .. As Alex states, you need to create a project first.
