eclipse pydev: unable to create pydev project

Question

I've successfully installed pydev into eclipse:

Anyway, I'm unable to use my existing python sources to create a pydev project. When I click File > New > Project, there's no pydev

What can I do to create new pydev project?

Answer 1

After some investigation I've found that version of JDK was wrong. I must have installed jdk6 first, then eclipse, then install jdk7 and then installed pydev. My default jdk was 6 (this can be changed, as stated here ). When eclipse is fired from jdk6, it will never see pydev. When I run eclipse manually under jdk7, pydev appeared :)

./eclipse -vm /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-i386/bin/java

so make sure you use jdk7 to run eclipse and it should be fine.
