I am having no success with trying to use the eclipse plugin. It appears to install OK and show use under Installation Details but there is no option under File > New for openFrameworks or Window > Preference.
I followed the installation instructions from here: http://openframeworks.cc/setup/linux-eclipse/. I checked the /opt/eclipse/plugins directory and cc.openframeworks.plugin_0.1.0.201510121850 is there.
Thanks that was it. The example in the instructions, “for this installation these instructions (http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-oracle-java-7-in-ubuntu-12-04.html) were used”, show installing java 1.7 and that is what I had installed. Once java 1.7 was removed and java 1.8 install everything appears to be working.
The same instructions work but you just have to change the last step to:
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
I may be dense but it took me a while to realize that you need to go to File -> New -> Other and then under C/C++ is where you find openFrameworks.
