minor Eclipse integration issues

Using CentOS 6.7, and Eclipse Mars 2.0 (w/ parallel tools PTP), Parallel Studio XE 2016 Cluster edition update 3 (using intel64)

It would be nice if the user manual, getting started, would illustrate how to (and annotate why) create a Hello World application.

In particular, why you would choose "Other" instead of Fortran, and additionally, why you do not choose Empty Project. That consumed about 4 hours of time poking around the internet looking for solutions, where 2 minutes in a getting started would have resolved the issue.

Next, while the integration to Eclipse permitted me to create an Intel Fortran project (using Other and non-empty project), it did not permit me to build the project: "ifort" not found as a command. The ifort (symbolic link to executable) should have been created by the integration (and choice of build platform). While this may have been corrected by sourcing /opt/intel/...psxevars.sh intel64 ... prior to launching Eclipse, this should have been performed by the IDE as part of the New Project (as I may want a main project with sub projects building multiple versions of the compiler). Again, something in the "Getting Started" would be helpful. The solution I found, which is likely the wrong solution, is to manually create a symbolic link /usr/bin/ifort pointing to the compiler (then remember to change this when I update versions).

Barring including this information in the "Getting Started (with Eclipse)", including a link to such a document would be instructive.
