Screenshot of lack of plug-in import

For the Hello World SWT Tutorial on the second step is says

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

However the first level of the import menu doesn't reference anything with regard to plug-ins nor does using the search filter for 'plug' return any results.

'Click to perform' on the step results in:

"The command did not complete successfully. 
unknown wizard: org.eclipse.pde.ui.PluginImportWizard"

Tried Eclipse-4.4.2 with the steps in comment 0, it works for me on Window7.

Can you try with any of latest eclipse 4.5 builds: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/

Is this problem Win8 specific ?

Looks like PDE (Plugin development Environment) is not installed/available in your eclipse. Please install the Eclipse Plugin Development Tools and try it out.
Comment 4 Scott Anecito CLA 2015-04-25 21:15:26 EDT 
The solution ended up being installing SWT. Given a name like 'Standard Widget Toolkit' I thought it came packaged with Eclipse especially since the Hello World SWT tutorial is featured when opening up Eclipse. 

I believe from a user experience perspective a how to install SWT step should be included with the rest of the steps so that for those who don't have SWT already installed they don't have to navigate outside of Eclipse to figure out the source of the issue and find the solution as the issue won't happen in the first place. The only negative I can see is people who already have SWT installed having to click 'next step'.
