I installed the plugins according to the tutorial here, using the online method for the Java stuff. I already had eclipse before.
However, as you can see here, the plug ins are installed but not properly. I can’t create a robot project, and when I import the project from our team’s Github it gives errors such as 'Unresolved import import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj…" etc. What gives?
I also had a previous version. I had to start over with a new, clean copy of eclipse. Then after installing the plugins, they worked.
Yeah that worked. I had to uninstall eclipse (just delete the files) and install eclipse mars from their website. I then removed the project from the workspace and reimported it again.
I have a few students who have the same issues but they are brand new programmers so they don’t have previous version installed on their laptops. They claimed to have installed the FRC Plug-in and updates but all wpilibj references are still unresolved. Anyway I can check what they have missed?
Check that they have the newest version of Eclipse, which right now is Mars. I had an old version (Juno) so it didn’t work. After that, I would review the installation instructions on the website here with them and make sure they did everything on that list. One good, quick test to see if it works right is to try to make a New Project, and in the menu there should be a drop down for “WPILib Robot Java Development.” If you don’t get this option, there’s a problem.
I hope this helps, good luck to your team!
