Import Plug-Ins into Eclipse Juno

I just installed (i.e., unzipped) Eclipse Juno. I'm going through the "Create a Hellow World SWT application" tutorial.

It says that to import the SWT project you open the Import wizard from the main menu via File > Import..., and select Plug-in Development > Plug-ins and Fragments.

As far as I can see, however, the Import dialog contains no folder that refers to plug-ins at all. What am I missing?

Solution

  • Okay, as described here, the following steps will work:

    • Help -> Install New Software
    • Work with: --All Available Sites--
    • General Purpose Tools -> Eclipse Plug-in Development Environment
    • Click "Next" until you are asked to agree to terms. Agree, and finish.

    After installing this plug-in and restarting Eclipse, you will be able to proceed with the tutorial.
