Eclipse IDE Installation for Java

“IDE” Integrated Development Environment helps software developers to improve the software
development process by helping developers
● to autofill keywords in programming language
● to highlight the human errors like spelling mistakes, incorrect keywords according to the
structure of the programming language
● to maintain the packages as needed
● Identify where and why the program is terminated
and many more features.
Hence, we use Eclipse IDE to organize, maintain and help us achieve our goals with less
hurdles and faster development.
