I reinstall my Eclipse environment every year when the new version is released. The most recent release - Juno - however, does not work as expected.
Currently, when I try running demos from Oracle, for example, it asks me to select an Ant file to run before compiling. After creating a blank Ant file to bypass the requirement (which I thought was rather dumb, since I don't think TDD is something that should be forced on people), it still refused to run, saying the "Selection could not be launched."
I understand that Juno is an update from the 3.x track to the 4.x track, but this seems a little ridiculous to me. What can or should I do so I can get Eclipse back up and running again?
Just to clarify:
Here's what I did to run the demo from Eclipse Juno:
Unzipped it to my projects directory (not my workspace), so that you have:
PROJECTS_DIR/components-FrameDemoProject/src
PROJECTS_DIR/components-FrameDemoProject/nbproject
PROJECTS_DIR/components-FrameDemoProject/build.xml
From Eclipse, File > New > Java Project
Use default location
and navigate to <PROJECTS_DIR>/components-FrameDemoProject
Finish
src/components/FrameDemo.java
FrameDemo.java
and select Run As
> Java Application
Let me know if any of these steps give you trouble.
