Installing Eclipse and Java 7

To install Eclipse on a Windows or Mac computer, you must first download and install Java 7 from Oracle. Make sure you download the Java Development Kit (JDK), not the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).

After installing Java, download Eclipse Standard 4.4 from eclipse.org. Make sure to download the correct version (32 or 64 bits) for your computer. If you have a Windows computer, there is a known problem with unzipping the files that is explained in the Download Eclipse section at http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse/Installation.

Alternatively, Java 7 and Eclipse are available on certain computers in the Academic IT Center and the math lab (open Sept. 10).
