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?

_Eclipse Application_ is something different than a _Java Application_. Please tell which IDE package you have installed, because there are different ones (_Help > About Eclipse IDE_) and also tell where _Run As > Java Application_ is missing (in the right-click menu or in _Run > Run Configurations..._; if right-click menu, on which file or folder did you right-click and what does the file contain?). If you are unsure, show an uncropped screenshot of the whole Eclipse window. – howlger Jan 20 '23 at 14:34

2022-12 must be run with Java 17. In this setup you're trying, is it? – nitind Jan 20 '23 at 14:46

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.
