I am currently trying to install DrJava plug-in in Eclipse Oxygen and I always get an error saying "could not find jar file" even though I opened it using the Install New Software in the Help menu...

I think I have tried everything I could but it does't seem to work...

or is there any better plugin in eclipse that has an interaction pane?

The DrJava Plug-in for Eclipse is an Eclipse 2.x plug-in which are not supported anymore. Therefore, it is not possible to install the plug-in in a current version of Eclipse.

A very similar functionality is built in the Eclipse Java IDE as Java Scrapbook Page (File > New > Other...: Java > Java Run/Debug > Scrapbook Page) and for debugging as Display view (similar to select an expression in the Java editor and hit Ctrl+U or right-click and choose Execute).

In Java 9, there is also a so-called JShell.

  • Is it the same as the interaction pane of DrJava and can it interact with other java files in a project? – Joshua Ven Honoridez Nov 06 '17 at 01:00
  • Yes, in a _Java Scrapbook Page_ you can use classes of the project and the _Display_ view belongs to the debugging perspective and refers to the application that is currently being debugged. – howlger Nov 06 '17 at 07:00
