Hi , I have a strange problem. i was using Eclipse 2.1.2 at my workplace for Java Development and decided to use the same at home too. i downloaded the zip from eclipse.org and installed it. it was working allright for a while until i decided to use a different version of Java. i was previously using JDK 1.5, and since I was using JDK 1.4.2 at work, i decided to use that at home too. So i remove the JDK and JRE and re-install JDK1.4.2 (the one with comes bundled with the NetBeans IDE) from Sun. After this i go to setup my Tomcat plugin, i cant find the Java option, nor can i find the Tomcat option. i use the SysDeo plugin for Tomcat. i have tried removing everything, Eclipse, Tomcat and Java and reinstalled all of them, but i am now not able to create a new Java Project or Tomcat project. When i click on File-> New, all i get is Project. Is there something i missed out, or some incompatibility?. i also tried using the JDK 1.5, but now Eclipse wont work with 1.5 either. i really need a solution to this problem. i work out of home too, and this is seriously affecting my productivity. I have tried using other IDE's like NetBeans and IntelliJ IDEA, and they both seem to work without any problem. The reason i want to stick to Eclipse is that its much more easy to use compared to the other IDE's. System Configuration AMD Athlon 2400+ Windows XP with Service Pack 2 512 MB DDR RAM 80 GB HDD I cant use either versions of Eclipse (2.1.2 or 3.0). Thanks Deekshit
Are you sure you didn't reinstall the SDK Eclipse Platform drop? This one doesn't contain the JDT plugins. What is the list of plugins if you go to: Help>About Eclipse Plaform>Plug-in details?
Hi, I think i did install the SDK, but even though i remove it and put back the older copy of Eclipse that was working, is it supposed to have a problem?. I have not checked under the Plugin details, but when i click on Window>Preferences, I dont see Java under that list. i can see the following 1. Workbench 2. Ant 3. Build Order 4. Debug (not sure) 5. Help 6. Install/Update 7. Team The one's extra i see at office are Java, Plugin Development and Tomcat. Which is the correct one i should be using to be able to work with Java. Would appreciate it if you could point me to the URL.Alternatively if I can use the SDK and need to download plugins for JDT, please point me to that location as well. Thanks Deekshit
Do you have plugins starting with org.eclipse.jdt.* in your plugins folder of your Eclipse install? Change severity to normal as this looks like a configuration problem.
Hi, No i do not find any plugins of the JDT type. please guide me to the plugin for the 3.0 version of eclipse. Thanks Deekshit ps: im also available on Yahoo at kesavadeekshit@yahoo.com
Go to the download page or any of the mirror pages and get the "JDT Runtime Binary" download. Or you download the "Eclipse SDK" that contains the Platform + the JDT plugins. Closing as WORKSFORME.
Closing.
