Installing Eclipse Juno on Ubuntu [message #936813]

Hi

I downloaded Eclipse Classic Juno 4.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 and extracted the zipped file into folder /eclipse.

I added the following to the .ini file:

-vm
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/bin/java

If I open Eclipse by double clicking on the "eclipse" executable and then create a simply "HelloWorld" project it complains with the simple line:

System.out.println("Helllo");

In the project Libraries tab I see the Java JRE 1.7 listed, so I'm baffled as to why it won't build the simplest of projects.

Thanks

Graham

What do you mean "it complains"?

Hi

"What do you mean "it complains"?"

The compile errors are listed below; ie it can't even find java.lang:

Syntax error on token ""Helllo"", delete this token HelloWorld.java /HWorld/src line 3 Java Problem

Syntax error on token(s), misplaced construct(s) HelloWorld.java /HWorld/src line 3 Java Problem
