Using Eclipse for Processing 4
Hi...
I've been coding in Processing 4 lately, and would like to move up to a better IDE. I've looked online for resources, and while there appear to be lots, it turns out they're mostly for Proclipse, a discontinued Google Code project from over 10 years ago, or just old enough not to apply to Processing 4: the newest one I've encountered was a YouTube video from 2022, that used Processing 3, and JRE 8; Processing 4 uses Java SE 17, and while I tried to adapt the how-to vid to mine modern environment.
This is the vid I followed, except selecting Java 17 instead of 8.

My session complained that the import of processing.core.* is not accessible , though I followed his instructions as much as I could.
I'm using the core.jar from Processing 4.3.4, and Eclipse 2024-12.
In my environment, Eclipse added a 'package', that wasn't present in the above tutorial.
If there happens to be an updated proclipse project around, or I've made a simple error while I followed the how-to, please let me know.
Thank you.
