Eclipse is free and open source multi-language software
development environment. It can be used to develop applications in Java, and in
other programming languages (C, C++, COBOL, Fortran, JavaScript, Perl, PHP,
Python, etc).
You can
check my previous post to
find out more about this tool.
Download
Using your
browser access the Eclipse download site: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads.
Choose the
tool that is most suitable to you. If you work with Java, I would recommend the
download of one of these:
- Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers
- Eclipse Classic 4.2.2
- Eclipse IDE for Java Developers
I use the
IDE for Java EE, because I’m working with JBoss, WebLogic and a few more Java
application servers.
So, click on
the package you select, and navigate to its download page.
On the righ
side of this page, you’ll find the download links for the supported operating
systems. If you’ld like to download a previous versions, use the links on the
left side of the page (Indigo Packages, for example).
So, download
the Zip or the Tar/Gz file, and place it on your local software repository.
Install
Difficult? Not
really… If you’re using Windows (as I am) just unzip the file. I place all my
Java installations in C:\Java.
To complete
the installation, go the Eclipse installation folder, and create a shortcut to eclipse.exe and place it on your
desktop or wherever is better for you.
You’re ready
to go! Open Eclipse using your shortcut, and navigate.
Use the available tutorials, if you need help to start.
