    Default Creating a new java project in eclipse

    I'm trying to program in Java with it. It's my understanding, in eclipse, I need to create file > new java project. However, I'm not see the "new java project" as an option.

    Am new to this forum. Do you know how to attach an image to a post? It maybe easier if I can attach the image of what I'm seeing.

    Click on Go Advanced and then Manage Attachments

    Thanks for responding back. Unfortunately, going to advanced and then manage attachements is not working. I'm looking into compiling as best as I can via text.

    I see lots of versions of Eclipse. Mine is very old.
    Does this version look better for java development:
    https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/pa...ava-developers

    It sounds like you are suggesting that I download the java eclipse version at the site that you provided. Which is fine, but, I wanted to confirm before I download it. Please confirm.

    Yes, I think there are multiple versions of the eclipse IDE and perhaps there is another one that is better for what you want to do.

    I downloaded and installed from the zip version: eclipse-java-2024-09-R-win32-x86_64.zip
    The version info:
    Eclipse IDE for Java Developers (includes Incubating components)

    Version: 2024-09 (4.33.0)
    Build id: 20240905-0614

    Hi, sorry for the late reply. I have been cleaning up my computer, to free up space so I could download the version. My computer now finally has enough space for a download. So, I do see the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers - I'll look into installing that version.

    So, I have the new version of eclipse that was recommended, it is the 2024-09 version. Sorry if this question is very basic - I've never used eclipse. So, is starting a new java project as simple as it looks, I would go to File > Project > Then navigate to the Java folder? Then, that's it?

    Have you tried searching on the internet for examples? For example, I found this:

    Hi,
    Admittedly I didn't search for examples on the Internet. However, what you provided should suffice. Thank you for this link - I will look into more.
