Downloading Eclipse

You can download eclipse from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/. The download


page lists a number of flavors of eclipse.

The capabilities of each packaging of eclipse are different. Java developers typically
use Eclipse Classic or Eclipse IDE for developing Java applications.
The drop down box in the right corner of the download page allows you to set the
operating system on which eclipse is to be installed. You can choose between
Windows, Linux and Mac. Eclipse is packaged as a zip file.

Installing Eclipse
To install on windows, you need a tool that can extract the contents of a zip file. For
example you can use −

 7-zip
 PeaZip
 IZArc
Using any one of these tools, extract the contents of the eclipse zip file to any folder of
your choice.

Launching Eclipse
On the windows platform, if you extracted the contents of the zip file to c:\, then you
can start eclipse by using c:\eclipse\eclipse.exe
When eclipse starts up for the first time it prompts you for the location of the workspace
folder. All your data will be stored in the workspace folder. You can accept the default
or choose a new location.

If you select "Use this as the default and do not ask again", this dialog box will not
come up again. You can change this preference using the Workspaces Preference
Page. See the Preference tutorial page for more details.
