It’s been more than 2 years since I worked on Eclipse . I had to install it today. I have installed only Java in it. Did you try YouTube or some tutorials? If any doubt check Stackoverflow Frankly telling I hate this IDE I feel this is the most boring IDE. I love IntelliJ and VScode
I installed other two with you tube help only. This I don't know where I am doing the mistake. It might be boring but installing new ide and understanding that will take more time that I dont want to give.
Is your Java installation working? Hello world running ok? Do you have multiple versions of C++ installed on your machine earlier? Remove all traces of C++ and try installing the eclipse plugin afresh. Look at your eclipse error logs and post it here if it still doesn't install the plugin. You will see a stack trace on your error messages screens. I uninstalled the IDE from my comp so I have no screenshots to show you. It's going to be a window in the bottom pane. Click on all the tabs and find messages that show up when you install a plugin. That's where your stack trace will print when you have an issue with plugin installations. In simple terms, ant is a tool used to package code and push it to the server. Ant builds and deploys your code to any outside server. If you have a local webserver with your app running on your eclipse, you really don't need Ant to deploy. You can compile and run on eclipse itself. In large dev environments, developers usually have a local copy of the webserver running on their device and do all their unit testing locally. Only one person, usually the server admin, builds and deploys code to the actual QA/UAT/Prod servers from some code repository that all developers check their code into after their development effort. If you are learning to code, you probably won't be doing a build/deploy etc anytime soon. Most developers learn this on the job.
Thank for replying. Hello world in java is going fine. No previous installation is there as I have new laptop where I am installing this very first time. I am now trying with cygwn. Will try to complete this tomorrow and let you know if some problem arrived. Ant build was giving me tension but you made it very clear.
i checked up with dummies. they seemrd to have short cuts to learn anything under the sun! Good bless the determined to pick the ropes fast.
download.eclipse.org/releases/oxygen. this site is not there in my eclipse. trying to find this on net what it is and how to add this. If you know about it then please tell me what to do next?
I got this. I checked for all available sites and it worked. Thank you everyone for your kind support.
Thatz grit and determination not for dummies. God created dummies to help honing talents. Thanks and regards.
