There may well be a very simple answer to this but having googled for an hour, I am resorting to asking here.
I am simply trying to install eclipse Indigo(3.7.2) on Ubuntu 12.04 and get it to let me make a java application.
I have used:
sudo apt-get install eclipse
to get eclipse, which also installs the jdt package needed for making java projects.
However, when I navigate to new -> project, I am not given the option of a java project wizard (see screenshot).
Anyone know how to fix this?
EDIT: Dowloading the .tar.gz myself and unpacking it seems to have worked fine. I'm not sure why apt-get didn't work.
Run As > Java Application wont show up if the class that you want to run does not contain the main method. Make sure that the class you trying to run has main defined in it.
In Eclipse, if the Project Explorer pane is not already open, click the Show View icon in the lower left corner of Eclipse, then click Project Explorer.
Window > Open Perspective > Java
I feel like an idiot for how long it took me to figure this out. It's not very intuitive now, is it? >.<
