eclipse doesn't see basic libraries - eclipse

I try to use eclipse 3.7.2 with ubuntu 12.10.
When I use command line it's ok (all necessary jdk and jre libraries are installed). But if I try to write just a simple "Hello World" with eclipse I see that it doesn't know anything about Object class, String class, e.t.c.
I've tried to show eclipse where basic .jar files are but I didn't succeed.

In eclipse, right click on your project go to "Properties -> Java BuildPath -> Libraries"
Click "Add Libraries" -> "Select JRE System Library" -> "Select your JRE" -> "Finish" -> "OK"
Now you project is configured to use the selected version of your JRE.
Hope it helps.

Change enviornment to JDK in Eclipse Luna

I am using Eclipse Luna (Java EE IDE). I need to add jdk because my project is been converted to maven. Whenever , I install maven console gives an error
No compiler is provided in this environment. Perhaps you are running
on a JRE rather than a JDK?
So i used Preference>installed jre's. However , when i am trying to change JRE to JDK by using Search button in Installed jre's. It shows me only JRE not JDK. Although , i am providing JDK path.
In short , I need to change my environment to JDK.
Thanks. Please help me out
In the preferences screen, remove the JRE listed there.
Add > Standard VM + Next > Directory + navigate to the jre directory inside jdk folder and Finish
If done right then JRE Home should look like "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_05\jre", NOT "C:\Program Files\Java\jre8"
Next, make sure you have the new JRE System Library listed under the Libraries tab in Java build path and in the Java Compiler (right click on project > properties) you define enable project specifics and set Compiler compliance level to the version you want.
Hope it helps.
Just open: Window-> Preferences ->Installed JREs and press SEARCH. Chose a folder and eclips find all avaliable jre and sdk.

Using both jdk 1.6 and jdk 1.7 for different projects in Eclipse

I am using Eclipse with JDK 1.7. My previous projects are developed in java 7 and JDK 1.7.
Now, I want to build a new project under JDK 1.6 in Eclipse. Is it possible to do that so that some projects are based on JDK 1.7 and some others are based on JDK 1.6 without conflicts?
If this can be done, please let me know how to do it step by step.
Update:
My default JDK is 1.7. I created a new project that is based on jdk1.7 by default. And then I go to the property of this project, and then java compiler, then change the compliance settings as the image shows below. But there is some error occurred. What could be the reason causes this error?
The following is the "problem" view
After some research, I have solved this problem. please see the reference about how to fix the facet version.
You can set overall workspace properties to use one version of Java and set individual project properties to use another.
To set overall workspace properties, click on Window > Preferences, then navigate to Java > Compiler.
To set project properties, right-click on the project and select Properties. Navigate to Java Compiler and check "Enable project specific settings"
You can choose from among the installed JREs for either setting. To tell Eclipse about a newly installed JRE, you can open the workspace preferences and navigate to Java > Installed JREs and then click the "Add" button.
You can change the JDK used by project under Project properties(alt+enter)-> Installed JREs. Also Debug Configuration is your friend. You can set what JDK to use when launching/running an app/program in Eclipse.
This can be done for an Eclipse Run Configuration. You may define multiple such configurations, each of which will reference a "main class" in one of your projects.
In Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Installed JREs define a location for each JRE/JDK.
For a given Eclipse project:
right click on the project, select Properties -> Java Compiler, override and set compiliance level settings.
Check Use compliance from ..., visit the Java Build Path and be sure you have a JRE Library set that matches the desired compliance level.
For a given Eclipse Run Configuration: Run -> Run Configurations... -> Java Application, select an old or create a new configuration, select the JRE tab and specify the Runtime JRE.

how use jdk for java projects in eclipse?

I install jre and jdk, then install Eclipse, I want to create new java project and run it with jdk. For another program I need rename jkd on jskd, in tip JRE in eclipse I can't choose jsdk, how to change this?
It's really difficult to understand what you are asking but it you want to select a JDK in eclipse:
Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Installed JREs -> Add -> Check your JDK
If you mean which JRE you want to use for your project, in eclipse this can be configured by going to the "project" menu > "properties" > "Java building path". In the "Java building path" you can define the "JRE system library".

eclipse juno error on importing a eclipse indigo project

Hi folks When I import a project created in eclipse indigo into eclipse juno then my servlet classes are not recognized by eclipse juno and it shows error on all servlet classes like HTTPServlet etc.What can I do now? But when I am creating a new dynamic project then servlets are working fine.It means it only unable to find servlet API path when I import any eclipse indigo project.
Open the project's settings, the "java Build Path" tab. Check if a appropriate runtime library for your servlet container is in the list. I suspect not.
If it is not missing, expand the library and check if there is a servlet.jar or servlet-api.jar.
If it's missing, click the "Add Library..." button, select "server runtime", click next and choose one from the list.
If this list again is empty (probably), you need to configure a server runtime first. To accomplish this, select window, preferences from the eclipse menu, go to "Server", sub menu "Runtime Environment" and add a suitable one. Then add this to your projects build path.

How to add Java EE perspective to Eclipse

I could not find the Java EE perspective in Eclipse Galileo.
I want to develop a web application, but for this I need to change the Eclipse perspective. But, I could not find the Java EE perspective.
Can anybody tell me how to add this to Eclipse?
Relevant steps:
Go to "Help" -> "Install New Software...".
In the new dialog, in the "Work with:" pull-down list, select "Indigo - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo".
(Note: Replace Indigo and the download list with download locations for your eclipse version)
Select the following packages to install:
"Web, XML, Java EE and OSGI Enterprise Development".
"Programming langauges -> Eclipse Java Development Tools"
After installation is complete, if you restart eclipse, you should see an option for java perspective in "window -> open perspective -> " or "window -> open perspective -> other"
If the above does not work, check the following as well:
Java EE perspective in eclipse
In the latest version of Eclipse (eclipse 2019-12), you need to manually download and install different perspectives as per your need.
For Java EE perspective, Go to Help -> Install New Software...
Then in the new pop up dialogue box, select --All Available Sites-- from Work with drop down list. Select "Web, XML, Java EE and OSGi Enterprise Development" from the list and click next, then accept the license. Click Finish.
After installation you can see "Java EE" in "Windows->Perspective->Open Perspective->Other Perspective.
Good luck fellas...
window -> open perspective -> select Java EE view [Other (if you dont see it in there)] -> choose java EE
(Assuming you have installed javaEE extension already or downloaded a version that already has it installed)
If you have installed Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers then you can go for the following steps otherwise firstly download and installEclipse IDE for Java EE Developers from the given link
https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/Photon/R
After installing, you can open Java EE perspective by follow the following step-
window -> open perspective -> select Java EE view
That's it.
If you are unable to see J2EE perspective, you would have probably selected Java standard edition during eclipse installation. However we can get these by downloading certain tools from eclipse market place.
Eclipse-->help-->Eclipse marketplace--> search below tools and install
