Why is "Java Application" missing from Launch Configuration menu

90 Views Asked by At

I'm using Eclipse Version: 2022-12 (4.26.0) which I installed with the Eclipse Installer, and trying to set things up so I can run my applications under VisualVM (I had been able to do this successfully before, but using Eclipse Neon). However, I run into the following problem: When I go to setup a run/debug configuration for an application, this list of Run Configuration types includes "Java Applet" but does NOT contain "Java Application"; however, it DOES include "Eclipse Application". Is it the case that I should be using the latter for Java applications?

Thank you, @howlger. It turned out I had not include "Java Application" in my run/debug launcher options under "Preferences". When I fixed this, I was able to specify "VisualVM Launcher" in my run/debug configuration.
