I have installed java and eclipse in my raspberry-pi.Installed eclipse using
sudo apt-get install eclipse
Eclipse is installed and i am able to open the IDE through VNC.But there is no run configurations set in eclipse.It is asking for new run configurations.
Even in the run configuration there is no JRE option.
I also want to add external jar files.Searched the web but didn't get much for eclipse configuration on raspberry-pi
Tried this also with no success.
sudo apt-get install eclipse-jdt
eclipse is just a runtime, part of a framework (Eclipse RCP) based upon OSGi that helps build portable applications, Rich client applications that are quick to develop and easy, fast and cheap to deploy.
In computer programming, Eclipse is an integrated development environment (IDE). It contains a base workspace and an extensible plug-in system for customizing the environment. Written mostly in Java, Eclipse can be used to develop applications. By means of various plug-ins, Eclipse may also be used to develop applications in other programming languages. Source: Wikipedia
If you want development environments you will need to install them separately. For example, for java
sudo apt-get install eclipse-jdt
... or for C/C++
sudo apt-get install eclipse-cdt
Then everything is installed.
Now, you have to create a "Java Project"
Before being allowed to run a class as a java program because the project metadata explains how to run them. In your screenshot, unlike mine I don't see the letter J in the project icons that highlight their Java nature.
And now as my project is setup, I can execute a class.
