Turn On Line Numbers in Eclipse [Luna]

Personally, I’m not sure what any code editor thinks it is doing by not having line numbers switched on by default.

But, each to their own, so if you want to see your line numbers in Eclipse and you just can’t find out where on earth to turn them on, aaargh! Don’t panic.

Just go to:

Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editors -> Text Editors

Then, take a deep breath, and feel much better than you can now see which line of code you are editing at any given time.

1. Create a new folder

In your home directory, you need to create a new folder, which will be the location of your new workspace. You can call this folder anything: Coursework or 3DProjects, for example.
