3.0 new install - Java menu missing from Preferences [message #262931]

I'm trying to get Eclipse 3.0 installed on Win2k. Cleaned registry, new
install of Sun JDK 1.4.2.

The 'Java' menu in Preferences is missing entirely (I will be installing
Lomboz next). It does not appear to be hidden or unenabled as some docs
have suggested, but just gone.

Same thing happens when I try to install Eclipse 2.1.3. My older 2.1
installation does not have this problem.

Every installation guide I've run across practically starts with 'Go to
Window>Preferences>Java', but I can't even get that far.

Is there an environment variable or registry setting that I'm missing?

You probably downloaded the platform image instead of one with the Java
Development Tools. The download page describes what is in each download.
