Eclipse - Can not create a web application project

Question

I have installed a new version of Eclipse Kepler and have installed the Google Plugin from "http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/4.3" using "Help/Install new software". However, the "g" button to allow the creation of a web application is not in the menu bar. Also when I go to "File>New" the option "Web Application Project" does not appear (I have checked under "Other". What else do I need to install please?

I have used this reference "http://www.gwtproject.org/usingeclipse.html#installing".

I resolved this by installing Eclipse-JEE. It recognised the Eclipse I had already installed, and spent a lot of time on configuring, and configured its self for me. I was very re-leaved as I expected to spend hours re-doing all the work. So if you have a similar issue do not hesitate to install Eclipse-JEE (do not remove the old Eclipse first).

You need the GWT SDK as well, but that is usually installed with the plugin. Unless you deselected SDK during the installation. What do you see when you go to Window>Preference>Google>Web Toolkit? Any entries there? If not you can use the Add... button to install SDKs.
