No java project option in eclipse

Question

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 Ubun

Answer 1

Make sure that the JDK is installed. sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk

also make sure that the installer is up to date : sudo apt-get update , sudo apt-get upgrade

You have another option. Try downloading eclipse from the Eclipse website www.eclipse.org

download the appropriate version for your machine and try running it from the command line directly yourDownloadPath/eclipse

• Don't forget to add the executable permission(chmod +x) if necessary

Good luck.
