How to Create and Run a Java Project in Eclipse | Create Your First Java Project using Eclipse

in this lesson we will learn how to create and run a Java project in Eclipse I'm assuming you don't have Eclipse setup in your system so first I'll download Eclipse set it up and then we will create one project and run it first type Eclipse ID Java in Google let me directly go to this website Eclipse id.org okay things may change later on but what you can see here it is giving a download link what I'll do I'll go and look for other packages or here if you see latest release all releases let me click over here so I'm into the page where all the releases are shown let me click any particular link maybe 2023 this one you can select Eclipse ID for Java developers but generally I use this one let me click on this I'm going to use this Windows one let me click download has started let it finish download now completed let me go to the folder I'm going to place this in a particular directory of my my choice so let me just paste it over here extract this file right click extract here so this eus folder would be created the extraction is complete let's go inside this Eclipse folder this is the eclipse.exe file this is the executable file if I click on this Eclipse will run but what I'll do I'll create a desktop shortcut right click on it send to desktop let me go back to my desktop so this is the eclipse ID shortcut I'm going to double click on it eclipse is lo loading it's showing the version 2023 iph 03 depending on the release you choose from the eclipse download page that version number will be shown so for the first time when you launch generally you need to provide a workspace or every time Eclipse will be opening it would be showing you a workspace so it would provide you a default workspace but it's better you provide your own directory location as a workspace workspace is a folder where we keep all the eclipse projects I have already created one folder folder so I'm going to change this path this is the folder that I have created you can create any directory of your choice I'm going to paste this in the Eclipse Window you can set it as default but no need let's click on launch it's starting the eclipse ID now maximize this so for the first time this welcome page comes you can just close this and what we can do we can create a project now but before we create a project I want to mention one very important point over here if I click on window and go to preferences here if you click on Java and click on install Jes what you can see if I scroll over here Eclipse comes bundled with a J now this J is version 17 you can use this version in that case what will happen by default the project you create will be using J 17 but that is not the standard way generally what we do we install jdk in our own system in our laptops or PCS and we use that jdk in eclipse in my case I have jdk 8 installed in my system and I want to use that so what I'll do I'll add that jdk over here and I'll uncheck this click on ADD click next go to the jdk installation directory so in my case this is my jdk installation directory I'm selecting this it has taken the name I'm clicking on finish what I'm going to do I'm going to uncheck this check this one and I can remove this one I don't need any further if you don't have jdk installed in your system you can use this default bundle but the standard practice is to use your own jdk while you are using Eclipse so that there is no confusion so I'm removing this click on apply apply and close now eclipse is ready in order to create a Java project what we can do we can click on file new here on the top you can get Maven project or Java project but without depending on anything you can just Direct ly go to other and type Java over here and you will see this option Java project click next here what you can see the project name it is asking I'm providing a name this is the location it is showing here in J section you can see there are three options use an execution environment J which eclipse is providing and use a Project Specific J here it is showing the jdk that I provided I would rather use this one or there is a third option don't bother about that click on next so here here in this page we don't need to do anything but I want to show you few things here I have Java settings this is my Java project this is the source directory I'm going to create Java packages over here classes over here and under libraries you can see this is the J it is pointing to meaning the jdk I pointed to under projects there is nothing we can ignore all this let's click on finish as I'm using Java ID for Enterprise and web developers so it is telling me to open the Java perspective let me click on that and finish now here what we have I have the project this is the package Explorer view in case you don't see this view what you can do you can go to window Show view click on other type package and you can select this anyways now I have set the JRE which is jdk 1.8 and I'm going to create a package over here right click on Source new class so I'm going to mention a package name and the test class name here at the bottom you can check this one public static void M what will happen it will generate the main method for you click on finish so this test class under this package a. sample is created with the main method I'm going to just type hello world so in Eclipse there are few shortcuts you can just type this and press crls there would be option itions you can select this one let me type Hello World Press crl s to save this right click run as Java application now in the console the output is printed you can directly right click over here you can right click from here also on this particular class run as Java application so we have created a Java project on eclipse and we have run it successfully another important point I wanted to highlight you should notice that just check one thing when you are importing a project or creating a project right click on this project go to properties and here first you should select the Java compiler and check the jdk compliance whether the jdk that you are using and this compiler that is set over here are same or not if that is different there could be problems it's better to check that beforehand and also in the build path you always check under libraries whether your correct jdk is selected or not otherwise you may have problems so these two things it's better to check always whenever we are running any Java projects they cause some unnecessary troubles at times so one small request in case you like this video
