Picklist for superclass selection is empty [message #85764]

I installed eclipse 3.1 and am running through the 'Java Development User
Guide -- Basic Tutorial'.

Everything has gone fine until I tried to create a Java class from the
'New Java Class' dialog. The browse button on the superclass field
displays a superclass selection dialog where the 'Matching Types' has only
one entry 'Object' and the qualifier has only the jre rt.jar file.

How do I get the HUnit packages to show up in the 'Matching Types'
picklist?

As you start typing a class name it will fill in matching candidates
(java.lang.Object is pre-filled because that is the default superclass
in the New class dialog).
Now, if the class you're looking for is part of a third-party library,
you'll have to make sure that library (JAR) is on the Project's build
path (the tutorial should explain/walk you through it).

HTH,
Eric
