Scala Eclipse file>new has <No Applicable Items>

Question

I downloaded the Scala IDE for Mac 64 bit from http://scala-ide.org/download/sdk.html

I open the program, click File > New and see .

The Coursera tutorial I'm in says that I should see the option to create a new Scala project. It looks like I have the IDE but not the SDK?

Answer 1

The simplest reason to get this behavior would be if all perspectives are closed.

Most of the menus in Eclipse are contextual, and File > New is empty if there is no current perspective.

To open a perspective, use Windows > Open Perspective > Other..., then select Scala and OK. Then File > New contains the list of the Scala related wizard.

Also, Scala IDE does contain the full SDK, and the bundle is an all-in-one download with everything needed to have a running Scala IDE. – Molality

The first time I installed it it didn't come with it. – Liberec

This issue also occurs when you've opened the wrong perspective. When the Debug perspective is open there are no entries in the "New" menu. When the Java perspective is open all entries are present. – Caresa
