Eclipse dosn't see JDK

Question

I had installed Eclipse and it was working well few days ago. Now I can't create Java project, there is no such option and in the Eclipse Preferences there is no mention about the word Java. I was re-installing several times from Software Center and the result was same.

What should I do? I am running Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 LTS. Can this happen because of system updates?

Type 'java -version' and 'javac -version' into a terminal. Do they both display a java version, or do they return an error? — Moose, Jul 07 '14 at 11:47

If Eclipse runs, you have an installed and working Java.

Check your Eclipse distribution, you should install Eclipse IDE for Java Developers or Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers from here.

EG:

Open the Preferences via

Window > Preferences

and navigate to

Java > Installed JREs

and you will see something like this

Press Add to configure more JREs
