Regarding differences in video & my Eclipse

I'm on lesson 9 of the TotalBeginner tutorial and following along just fine, thanks. I have noticed some differences in your Eclipse install (shown in the video) and mine; specifically, when I'm using the 'inspect' tool on the MyScrapbook page, the results output shown on the video is much more detailed. I noticed this all along on certain things, but it came to light more in the ArrayList lesson, as you have several more lines showing details of the ArrayList object. Is this important? What might I need / want to change to show these details? It occurs to me some of what I'm seeing may relate to EE.
Additionally, I've run into a problem of some sort on lesson 9, where when typing 'new' into the MyScrapbook page and hitting CTRL-Space for code assist, there is no option to create a new object. There are several cryptic options that all seem to insert a package name, but no object creation.
It looks like this:
new
NEW - com.sun.org.apache.bcel...
NEWARRAY - com.sun.org.apache.bcel...
NewObjectKeyTemplateBase ...
Any ideas?
Hi. Are you sure you have imported the packages into the Scrapbook? If so, then the MyLibrary objects should be available.
In general, there have been a few issues with the scrapbook, as you can see if you search this forum. I'm not sure why, but it seems to be an area where maybe there are bugs or platform issues.
Fortunately, this is not essential to the tutorials, but it is annoying when your stuff doesn't work the same as the video.
Good luck. Mark
Mark, thank you for the quick reply. I initially thought of that, and double checked that I had imported the package to the scrapbook. Sure enough, org.totalbeginner.tutorial.* had been imported.
If it's not going to impede the tutorial or overall coding process I'll ignore it.
Thanks again, keep up the excellent work!
