Unable to create new java project in Eclipse 3.6.1

Question

I am unable to create a "new Java Project" in Eclipse 3.6.1? I am using Linux sol24 2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.x86_64.

When I go to file and then new, I don't see new Java Project. There is just project. Also, when I do create a new project. I am unable to access src.

Can someone offer some insight into this?

Thanks

Answer 1

Since you only have "General" and "CVS", it appears that you have Eclipse, but don't have Java for it.

Please try this Linux command in a terminal.

apt-get install eclipse-jdt

This will install the necessary Java Development Tools for your Eclipse.

Make sure you run sudo and restart Eclipse after installing.

When you click new, go to other in the list and then you will see a list of all possible things you can create. you should Java project there.
