I'm an Eclipse (and Java) newbie. I'm trying to follow the tutorial, "Create a Hello World SWT application" available on the Welcome, Tutorials, page. However, step 3, "Import the SWT project" says:

Open the Import wizard from the main menu via File > Import..., and select Plug-in Development > Plug-ins and Fragments. Click Next.

There is no Plug-in Development > Plug-ins and Fragments on the wizard. I'm running Eclipse Luna, 4.4.2.

Is the tutorial out of date? How do I import a plug-in?

Phil,

The Java package doesn't include PDE. You use use Help -> Installer New
Software, pointing to the release train update site (Luna in your case)
to add it to whatever installation your using.
