Description of problem: can't create new class in a new project. Basically doing a java 'Hello World' project: using ~/workspace File->new->project using Java perspective. In the project view, New Java Class, filling out the Name, selecting "public static void main(String[] args)" and clicking Finish doesn't do anything: there is no error message, but nothing happens. I can click Cancel which closes the New Java Class window. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel-1.7.0.60-2.4.3.0.fc19.x86_64 eclipse-platform-4.3.1-5.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: see above Actual results: Expected results: new class window closes, new class is created Additional info:
Just confirmed that it does the same thing in Eclipse 4.3.2 under Fedora 20.
I can work around this issue by right-clicking the src folder in Projects pane, and selecting New/File. In the file editor, I just manually entered the simpple class template: class MyClass { static public void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("hello world"); } } which then allowed me to Run/Run As/Java Application.
Re-checked in eclipse-platform-4.3.2-3.fc20.x86_64 (Build id: 3fc20) The problem appears to have been fixed; I believe it's appropriate to close it with CURRENTRELEASE, but I am not sure of the workflow so I leave it up to the maintainers.
Closing as per reporter testing.
