Java class creation [message #265076] Tue, 30 September 2008 14:51 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
In the main menu, is there any reason why I shouldn't have the option:

"Window | Open Perspective | Java"

Under "Window | Open Perspective.." all I have is:

CVS Repository Exploring
Team Synchronising
Other...

as you can see there is no "Java" option

and under "Other..." there is nothing that resembles a Java perspective.
This is related to my earlier thread where I was told to go to a section
of the menu where I seem to be missing icons that will enable me to do
anything Java related like create a Java Project/Package/Class.

Any help would be immensely appreciated.

What package did you download and install? This sounds like you did not
get one that includes the JDT (Java Development Tools).

Thank you for your response.

Now, I downloaded and installed Eclipse a long time ago so I do not
remember the package name or version, however, the strange thing is - just
a month ago, this was all working perfectly. I don't know what has
happened but since then, anything to do with Java has vanished from
Eclipse. Last month, I was able to create Java projects, Java Packages and
classes without any problems, but now, all the Java tools are no longer
there.

Can you recommend a tool or site or file for me to download on top of my
current eclipse IDE which would reinstall the Java SDK Tools?

I assume if I install the latest and greatest version of Eclipse it will
simply install itself on top of the existing version?

Thanks a lot.

Heval,

Grab your favorite package from here and be sure it has JDT in it.

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads

Install it (unzip it) in a new location, not over top of an old one! Be
sure you have a 5.0 JRE installed and that it's the default one that's
used when you run eclipse.exe, i.e., try java.exe -version to be sure.
