Hi All

I installed version 3.4 on my pc (windows) and have been looking at a few
tutorials on the web such as the one found here:

http://www.vogella.de/articles/EclipseDataToolsPlatform/arti cle.html

In section 5.1 of the tutorial you are told to create a SQL File but I
somehow do not have that option. Any ideas as to why I cannot see that
option ?

Also I have noticed that when I select "Help" and "About Eclipse....."
(not sure of the exact wording) but I want to check the version of
Eclipse. The window indicting the version does not appear.

I do recall updating my pc last week and I do know that I was on version
3.4.

Help or some advice is much appreciated.

Thanks

Remember that Eclipse is a platform and has lots of separate plugins
that provide various functionality. You probably did not download a
package that includes the Data Tools plugins (at
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ only the "IDE for Java EE Developers"
and "IDE for Java and Report Developers" packages includes Data Tools).

However, it is easy to install the Data Tools plugins into your Eclipse.
Just go to Help > Software Updates. On the Available Software tab, find
the Ganymede entry in the tree, expand it and check the Database
Development branch. Then click the Install button to install all of
those plugins.

Hope this helps,
Eric

What do you see in the About box, if not the version number?
Are you certain that you are running Eclipse with a Java 5 VM, according
to http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini and
http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_How_do_I_run_Eclipse%3F#Find_the _JRE

Also, what OS is this on? If Linux, see also

Hope this helps,
Eric

Hi Eric

Thanks for all your help, your last message pointed me in the right
direction. I was running on my XP machine the latest Java VM and when i
installed Java 5 as you recommended I no longer had any problems.

Thanks again

Simon
