PyDev Install to Eclipse on Mac [message #1176482]

Hi there,

I'm new to the Eclipse IDE as well as Python development and encountered a problem while trying to install the PyDev IDE to Eclipse.

I did exactly as shown and explained in the Guides on the PyDev website, but after eclipse restarted I do not hab the PyDev entry in the list of Preferences.

I then checked again into "Install New Software ...", where PyDev was shown as already installed.

Afterwards I uninstalled PyDev via the "Installation Details" in the "About" Dialog and reinstalled it now using the "Eclipse Marketplace". After that I checked it there and it said that it was installed (I could only uninstall or update it). But in the Preferences I still have no entry with PyDev. Even if I use the search-Bar above the Preferences list it cannot find PyDev.

I hope you have any Ideas.
Here are some information about the software I use:

Eclispe 4.3.1 vor Mac 64Bit

Thanks
PyDev for Eclipse 3.0.0.201311051910

Hello,

I have the same problem that Daniel has, but in my case the platform is Debian/Linux 7.2 (wheezy) amd64, and the Eclipse version is 3.8.0.

Do you have any suggestion? Sad

Thanks.

Hi all,
I stalled java 7 and it fixed. I executed:

apt-get install openjdk-7-jre

But that not was enough, because java 6 is still installed. You must to check if your system is runing java 6 or 7. For then execute:

java -version

My output was:

java version "1.6.0_27"

Then you must to update your alternates. How? Using update-alternates. Just run that:

 update-alternatives --config java

When I executed, the output was:

------------------------------------------------------------
* 0            /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java   1061      modo automático
  1            /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java   1061      modo manual
  2            /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java   1051      modo manual

Just select the number of java-7-openjdk-amd64, in my case was 2.

Try that buddy.
