Enabling Java projects [message #185605] Mon, 15 November 2004 10:01 Go to next message

Hi, I am relatively new to Eclipse and have downloaded the latest Windows
build. On running Eclipse, I dont see any options for creating a new Java
project (I was expecting new Java App, new Java Windows App etc). The
only options I see are to create a new CVS and 'Simple' application. I
have jdk version 1.4.2_06 installed.

Have I downloaded the correct build of Eclipse or perhaps I need to
install additional modules?

Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Milan

Hi Milan,

after installation the resource perspective is active. You have to switch
to the Java perspective through Window->Open Perspective->Java to activate
the java specific menus.
From here you can create a new project (File->New->Project) and new Java
classes.
More about perspectives can be found in Help->Help Contents->Workbench
User Guide.

Best Regards,

It is possible you did not download the Eclipse SDK - some people
download the "Eclipse platform" file, which does not include any of the
Java tools.

What is the name of the file you downloaded to install Eclipse? It will
tell you which one you got.

HTH,
Eric

Thanks for the info. but I don't have that option on the view window.
Perhaps its because of me not downloading the Eclipse SDK, as per Eric's
post.

Thanks for your help

Yeah, that is the wrong one. That is platform plus source, you want the
first one in the list, just plain Eclipse SDK.
