[Resolved]Hello world source file [message #1777825]

I'm starting to use Eclipse oxygen as a java debugger. I have installed oxygen and started it up. I then added a jave project and have my workspace at $HOME/eclipse/workspace.

I then created a java project called 'hello'. Oxygen created the directory $HOME/eclipse/workspace/hello. I have a text file, 'Hello.java' which I moved to $HOME/eclipse/workspace/hello. But when I navigate to this directory in Oxygen, the hello directory is emtpy and does not show 'Hello.java'.

How do I get Oxygen to recognize that Hello.java is there?

If you're doing this "moving" in the file system, you'll have to do a "Refresh" on the project. You'll want to be sure that the *.java file is actually in a Source folder of your Java project, otherwise it won't build and won't run. Better you use drag and drop to copy something into the workspace or use File -> Import to import it.

A belated thank you, Ed. Things are working well, now.
