Eclipse editor not supporting java - eclipse

I've installed eclipse on my new ubuntu 12.04 setup. I did the install through the software center. I went to create a Java project, but it looks like it doesn't have java development kit on it. I'm not sure why. I have never seen this after installing Eclipse. Any ideas why I wouldn't have any language support? It's basically just a bulky text editor at this point.

Default Eclipse in Ubuntu Software Center generally needs installation of extra packages, had the same problem many times. I strongly recommend downloading and installing from here.

You can download the java sdk and development tools right in eclipse which should fix your problem, I had the same problem before and that's how I solved it.

Eclipse IDE different languages configuration

my question may be silly but I am in a weird situation right now. I am currently using the latest edition of Eclipse IDE configured for android development ,downloaded from the android developers site. I am trying to install other languages to it like C++ and no matter what I do I get the binary not found when I try to compile a C++ programm. I installed different editions of compilers and I get the same problem .So here is my question:
Do I have to download a different edition of Eclipse to install the other languages or am I doing anything wrong?
Take a look at this tutorial on how to ready eclipse for C++, perhaps it will help you locate your problem

Which eclipse version to install for developing in Android (Aug 2012)

This question is double, but no one asked it recently.
I want to use Eclipse for developing in Android and making webapps.
I used Indigo, but I see a lot of downloads on this page: http://eclipse.org/downloads/
Since my computer got stolen and I need to reïnstall everything, I thought, good time to ask.
Can anybody tell me which version is better to download and install?
And anybody any tips on the needed plugins?
Indigo is fine.
However, it might be in your best interest to download and install Juno. Juno's UI is slightly different than Indigo's, but it is the newest version of Eclipse (Juno is 4.x, whereas Indigo is 3.x).

Eclipse PHP IDE

Getting started with PHP in Eclipse IDE
Doe's anyone know a tool / IDE / plugin in Eclipse for PHP development?
I already try the ZEND PDT but it seems that it has a bug and it doesn't install in my eclipse. I even follow this workaround in installing it but it still doesn't work.
My Eclipse verions is 4.1.2, OS is in Windows XP SP3.
The previous questions doesn't seems to have a solid answer. Please help. Thanks in advance.
Another very good IDE to devolpe in PHP is NetBeans:
http://netbeans.org/
I know you specifically asked for an Eclipse plugin, but let me take the liberty of recommending a non-Eclipse PHP IDE, because it's really good and deserves a mention here: PhpStorm from JetBrains.
If you're very keen on Eclipse, Aptana Studio is a good IDE based on the Eclipse code base.
Pardon a possibly dumb question, but why are you using Eclipse 4.1.2? I suspect that the problem is with a bug in the 3.x compatibility layer in that version.
Unless you have a real need to be using 4.1.2 (and since it was a beta, I'm not sure what that would be...), perhaps try again with 3.7.2, which is the version currently listed on the Eclipse download page[1].
Hope that helps!

cannot install aptana

I am trying to install aptan in my eclips hilios. Its giving me a wired problem. I went here and installed it
http://docs.aptana.com/docs/index.php/Plugging_Aptana_into_an_existing_Eclipse_configuration
When I went to perspectives I dont see aptana there.
I tried to reinstall aptana and it said I couldnt as it is already installed.
I deleted the installation of eclipse and redid the steps and still no help.
I am not sure whats going on
Any help will be very much appreciated
If you are using Helios, I would recommend trying out the new Aptana Studio 3 beta. It's in good shape, especially for a 'beta'! I've been using it as my primary IDE with additional plugins such as CFEclipse, Java Development Tools, J2EE and the Groovy plugin and had zero issues for the last month+.
Additionally, the Studio 3 beta is built on Helios' architecture, so you should be able to integrate it without any (read: too many) headaches!

How to install J2ME compatible platform/emulator in NetBeans IDE 6.7.1

I'm pretty new to J2ME development scene. And for that matter, have just recently installed, JDK 6 update 16 bundled with NetBeans 6.7.1 IDE and Sun WTK 2.5.2, on Ubuntu 9.04 machine.After going through some start up tutorials and basics, from various sites, I was eager to try some hands on experience by coding some 'Hello World' program. But to my dismay, I haven't been able to! After initial confusion, I'd installed 'Mobility' plugin for NetBeans IDE for J2ME development. But when I choose to create a new project, it turned out that, there is some error since now it says that 'No J2ME compatible platform/emulator found installed in NetBeans IDE'. I've searched through google to find a way to fix this issue but I couldn't find any solution on this matter.
Please help me to fix this issue. Do I need to re-install the IDE? Am I missing out something? I've tried various ways but the IDE simply doesn't detect any platform on my machine.
Thanks for your help.
Try this in Netbeans:
Click menu-item: Tools->Java Platforms
Click button: Add platform...
Choose radio-button: Java ME MIDP Platform Emulator
then click button: Next >
Find the directory where Netbeans 6.7.1 is installed
then click OK
WTK2.5.2 that comes with Netbeans should be visible. Select it and click Next and follow further instructions.
If no WTK is found the dowload it, unpack it and try as above again but find the directory to the WTK this time.
Hope this helps.
