r/eclipse

I've installed the latest maven archetype for the javafx and have been unable to make the javafx:run work from Eclipse. I would always get "Unsupported major.minor version 68.0". That makes no sense because the JRE is the jdk-26.0.2. In the project settings that's what it's using, so it can easily read a version 68 class.

The weirdest part is that in command line using the same maven installation it runs fine. I have no idea what's different about the eclipse run. It's using the same maven and, ostensibly, the same jre. Anyone has an idea?

Hi! I have been using Eclipse since I started my CompSci degree, and I usually use it as my preferred IDE. However, I have been encountering an issue recently that is making me lean towards finding a new one, and I'd like to know if anyone else has encountered and solved this issue.

For my current class, I CANNOT have my files be contained in packages. It breaks the way the testing is run. It is tedious to have to open each file individually after saving it in order to remove the package line at the top. However, I am encountering an issue where Eclipse forces you to put files in packages. If I make a new file or import one, it forces it into a package. If I have a data file like a txt, it refuses to let me add it to the package. I also can't drag-n-drop to remove my java files from the package either, it just duplicates them or flat-out refuses to do it.

Is there some kind of setting or something I can use to force it to stop making these freaking packages? It is so annoying, frustrating, and rage-inducing that I am seriously considering switching to a new IDE and uninstalling Eclipse entirely. I tend to prefer one-and-done programs like Eclipse, but I am beyond irritated with the rigidness of the file structure when not every kind of project or program is going to follow that structure.
