Eclipse x64 bit C++ WPIlib plugin not showing up in Run As... menu

[BradAMiller]

There's a bug in something with the plugins where once you do something with the Java perspective, eclipse looses track of the type of project and won't offer C++ build and download. If you restart eclipse, in that case, the build options will show up again for C++ projects.

Thanks! I will try that as soon as I get the chance! I will report back with results!

Did you get it working?

[jreneew2]

Yeah! I tried restarting eclipse and it worked. Sorry for the late response.

I have an issue where
Run As --> "WPILib C++ Deploy"
is not an option.

I have re-installed Eclipse, the Plug-Ins, etc. several times to no avail. Installing the Java Plug-ins instantly gives me the "WPILib Java Deploy" option, but no amount of restarting or re-installing or update attempts will show the "WPILib C++ Deploy" option.

Had the same problem with a 32 bit system but after a remove/install of Eclipse the option was available. I had been working with sfx before the issue occurred.

What if you drill down to "Run As..." by right clicking the project folder? That's where it shows up for me.

I only get the C++ deploy when doing this. The Run As... via the Run menu never seems to provide the same option. 64-bit machine.

That is what I was referring to, right clicking on the project folder and going into Run As only has options for local C++, WPI Java deploy, and WPI Java sim

I have to run Eclipse as an administrator for Deploy to show up in the Run As menu.

Right clicking on build and running it as ant is working for me, I hope that won't cause any future problems
