I haven't used Eclipse since 3.1, and downloaded galileo Java EE bundle.
however a lot of things seem to have changed.
I am looking for Java Build Path, under Project->Properties and only see
Resource
Builders
Project References
Run/Debug Settings
Server...
and so on.
I am looking for what it used to be
Info
Builders
Java Build Path
Java code Style
Java compiler
Project References

Is the Projects Properties tab different for plain java version of eclipse
versus JEE ?

If the Build Path entry isn't available, then my guess is you don't have
a Java project (Doesn't have the Java Nature).

As the other responder indicated, your project appears to not have the Java "nature". How did you create the project?

You could recreate the project as a "Java Project" (type "java project" into the "Select a wizard" dialog (press Ctrl-n to bring this up, or select File->New->Other from the main menu)).

If recreating the project is awkward, you might be able to directly edit the ".project" file for your project.

For instance, this is the ".project" file for a plain Java project in my workspace:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<projectDescription>
	<name>timings</name>
	<comment></comment>
	<projects>
	</projects>
	<buildSpec>
		<buildCommand>
			<name>org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.builder</name>
			<arguments>
			</arguments>
		</buildCommand>
		<buildCommand>
			<name>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javabuilder</name>
			<arguments>
			</arguments>
		</buildCommand>
	</buildSpec>
	<natures>
		<nature>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature</nature>
		<nature>org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.nature</nature>
	</natures>
</projectDescription>

If you're unsure, make a copy of your .project file before doing this, but if you add the "org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature" nature to the "natures" list, and the "org.eclipse.jdt.core.javabuilder" build command, it will probably make it a Java project just as if you had created it as one.

Thanks! Yes, that was the problem- I had checked out a directory with a
..project file which did not have a java nature...
Now I am stuck with proxy setting problems...
