Hi Shiromani

You can take a look at this video tutorial (Video tutorial for the SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP on SAP HANA developer edition - YouTube) on how to start using ABAP on Eclipse Platform using AWS in the cloud. Once you connect remotely the eclipse studio is available to work on using the ABAP Perspective.

Good luck.

Hi all,

Thank you for your quick response to this query. However I am facing one problem here, after installation of Eclipse Kepler and ABAP perspective, once I create ABAP project under $tmp package, I don't get any option to create ABAP program or ABAP class, as shown in most of the videos.

I am getting only option to create "ABAP Repository Object" as shown in the screen shot below:

Kindly confirm if I am missing something, if yes let me know further steps.

Do you have a recent version of the ABAP software components installed? Maybe from here?

Here is how its look at my installation:

And when I do a right mouse button click on my $TMP-Package:

What about hitting File --> New --> Other... (or CTRL+N)?

Does the wizard offers the following?

So, seems you are missing some components, especially the Core Development Tools.

If I remember right its not possible to install them from scratch you need the

• Eclipse Graphiti (only the simple Graphiti item is necessary, not Examples, Export, SDK or Tools)
• Eclipse Modelling Framework
  • Query (only the simple EMF Model Query item is necessary, nothing else)
  • Validation (only the simple EMF Model Validation item is necessary, nothing else)
  • Transaction (only the simple EMF Model Transaction Workbench Integration item is necessary, nothing else)

prior the ABAP components.

You can download them at the mentioned links as a ZIP-file and afterwards installing the ABAP components again.
