Scala Eclipse file>new has <No Applicable Items>

eclipse, scala, scala-ide

Solution

The simplest reason to get this behavior would be if all perspectives are closed.

Most of the menus in Eclipse are contextual, and `File > New` is empty if there is no current perspective.

To open a perspective, use `Windows > Open Perspective > Other...`, then select `Scala` and `OK`. Then `File > New` contains the list of the Scala related wizard.

Problem

I downloaded the Scala IDE for Mac 64 bit from http://scala-ide.org/download/sdk.html I open the program, click File > New and see . The Coursera tutorial I'm in says that I should see the option to create a new Scala project. It looks like I have the IDE but not the SDK?
