how to configure eclipse to support java?

I was using eclipse for coding with C/C++, now my eclipse shows "C/C++ Eclipse platform".

I want to configure it to support java, j2ee, but I'm at a loss on how to do. I'm using fedora. Related info about my eclipse is:

Click, "Help" > "Install New Software". Work with "All Available Sites", select "Eclipse Java Development Tools" and then click "Finish".

Once installed, you will have additional "perspectives" and "project types" available. Try "Window" > "Open Perspective" > "Java", and then "File" > "New" > "Java Project".
