EDIT: jldupont's suggestion (see below) did the trick
Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editors -> Text Editors -> Show line numbers
I just installed Eclipse Galileo (first time) and am programing in C++ and couldn't get the editor to display the line numbers... When i Googled it I got these directions:
Go to Window -> Preferences -> Editor -> Appearance and check Show line numbers
But when I follow those directions - there is no "Show Line Numbers" check box? where can i get this 'plug-in' of enable this feature? or does Eclipse have line numbers?
note: i have CDT installed
