Hi,
I need a little help here, I'm sure this is a configuration issue but I'll be dammed if I can work it out. I've already set up Eclipse for Python and Android development and I've just started learning C so I thought I'd use Eclipse for that but when I try to create a project "File - New - Project - C/C++ - C Project" as soon as I type a project name it throws up this error "No project types available. Project cannot be created" and indeed the Project type box is empty.

I am running Eclipse Juno on Debian Squeeze. GCC, G++, MAKE, GDB are all installed in the normal locations as set in $PATH.

There is the possibility it may be bug as an error is also logged but I'm not sure which causes what. The first few lines are

!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 0 2013-01-01 11:43:35.751
!MESSAGE Unhandled event loop exception
!STACK 0
java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.eclipse.cdt.ui.wizards.CDTMainWizardPage.switchTo(CDTMainWizardPage.java:433)
	at org.eclipse.cdt.ui.wizards.CDTMainWizardPage.createControl(CDTMainWizardPage.java:94)
	at org.eclipse.jface.wizard.Wizard.createPageControls(Wizard.java:174)

The full error is attached. Any and all help would be appreciated
