Problem with JavaCC in Eclipse

[Alejandro Barrero]

Dear Sirs:

I downloaded the zip file and unzipped to the eclipse directory, the features and the plug ins where copied to the respective directories. However, I cannot follow the instructions in http://pagesperso-orange.fr/eclipse_javacc/;
I don't get the option to create a JavaCC template file. Also, there is nothing in help about JavaCC.

Thanks for your help,

Alejandro Barrero

try

Help - Software updates - Find and install...

Add new remote site http://eclipse-javacc.sourceforge.net

etc..

Arman:

That worked perfect; thank you. Everywhere it just says to unzip.

Thanks, Alejandro Barrero

All is not well; now I have help for JavaCC, but when I try to follow the instructions in "JavaCC Eclipse Plugin v1.3 for Eclipse 3.0":

4) Create a new JavaCC file :
Select the "testjj" package and Menu "File" -> "New" -> "Other..."
Select Wizard "JavaCC" -> "JavaCC Template file"

I cannot get the wizard "JavaCC".

I don't know what i am doing wrong. Please help.

Hi,
I also have same problem. i have downloaded EclipseJavaCC-1.5.12 from http://eclipse-javacc.sourceforge.net and unzipped to eclipse but still it is not allowing me to create .jj file. it showing error that

Unable to create this part due to an internal error. Reason for the failure: The editor class could not be instantiated. This usually indicates that the editor's class name was mistyped in plugin.xml.
