These tutorials are just what I'm looking for, but I'm getting frustrated right off the bat. Note: I'm using Kepler if that matters (it shouldn't at this level), I don't appear to be able to attach screenshots or files, but perhaps this copy of error messages will help. In lesson 2, while attempting to use the scrapbook feature, I typed in 2+2 mimicking the tutorial and got this:
Override cannot be resolved to a type
Throwable cannot be resolved to a type
Code snippet support cannot find the class java.lang.Class
The type java.lang.Object cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files
The type java.lang.Throwable cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files
The type java.lang.Class cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files
2+2
I'm also getting errors on various lines, even though my screen exactly matches the tutorial. For example, in this section:
// constructors
public Person()
{
name = "unknown name";
maximumBooks = 3;
}
I get an error on the public Person() line than reads: Implicit super constructor Object() is undefined. Must explicitly invoke another constructor.
On the name = "unknown name"; line, the error message reads: String cannot be resolved to a type.
Can anyone see what I"m doing wrong? I feel as though I'm following the tutorial perfectly, but I'm obviously missing something.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I installed 1.7 on my MacBook and also did the following trick, which I found when searching about how to set up Eclipse on a Mac (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14341865/how-to-install-jre-1-7-on-mac-os-x-and-use-it-with-eclipse):
You need to tell Eclipse which JDK/JRE's you have installed and where they are located.
This is somewhat burried in the Eclipse preferences: In the Window-Menu select "Preferences". In the Preferences Tree, open the Node "Java" and select "Installed JRE's". Then click on the "Add"-Button in the Panel and select "Standard VM", "Next" and for "JRE Home" click on the "Directory"-Button and select the top level folder of the JDK you want to add.

Solved - here's how:
