Eclipse Oxygen Install on Ubuntu 16.04: Item add to ClassicMenu Indicator

On my Ubuntu 16.04 install I removed Eclipse Luna and reinstalled to Eclipse Oxygen, using the newer Eclipse Installer 2019-03 R. Unfortunately the installer did not add a menu item to my ClassicMenu Indicator or the Unity menu.

I can still use Files to navigate to the Eclipse install directory and click the Eclipse icon to start, so I know Eclipse does work.

I initially tried this fix but it did not put an icon on any menu. Further searching, 2 provided a solution. If you wish to edit the application menus you will need to install the “alacarte” program to do this. Alacarte will also not show up on your menu.
