I'm sure this has been asked many times before but I can't find an answer.

I can start Eclipse, but it doesn't seem to know about Java. I so
Windows>Preferences but there is no mention of any java choices so I can't
add the location of my jdk.

Any ideas will be greatfully accepted.

Regards,

Paul.

Most likely you have downloaded the platform runtime binary?
This drop does not the Java development tools and Plug-in Development
Environment.
You need to get the full Eclipse SDK.

Start here:
http://download2.eclipse.org/downloads/index.php

Pick the build you are interested in, click its link and then download the
SDK drop.
