Follow the instructions below for specific platformsThe version of Eclipse to install is at Tested/Verified Tool Versions.
Windows:
- Go to: http://www.eclipse.org/
- You will be installing Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers or Eclipse for Java Developers. Select the download link appropriate for your version of Windows (32-bit vs. 64-bit).
- Select the appropriate mirror and Save the file to your local machine making note of the location (default location is Downloads for Windows 7).
- At this point you should have a Zip archive containing the Eclipse files. Take note of where this file was saved as we will need it after we've installed 7-Zip.
- Please note that the Eclipse installation instructions recommend using 7-Zip to extract Eclipse.
- "Note that there is a known problem with the built-in decompression utility on all current versions of Windows. We recommend that you use a more robust decompression utility such as the open source 7zip when decompressing an Eclipse download. Some people report success when initially decompressing Eclipse into a root directory (e.g. c:\) and then moving it to a more appropriate home (e.g. c:\Program Files\Eclipse)"
- Download 7-Zip from http://www.7-zip.org/ for your appropriate version of Windows (x86 32-bit vs x64 64-bit).
- When the download has completed, run the executable.
- A dialog should pop-up. Follow the prompts to complete installation.
- Now that we have 7-Zip, we need to navigate to the location where the Eclipse zip file was saved.
- Right-click the Eclipse zip file Select 7-Zip -> Extract Here
- Your current directory should now contain a folder titled "eclipse". You may copy this folder to a more convenient location such as "C:\Program Files\Eclipse" or another location of your choosing.
- Once you're satisfied with the location of your "eclipse" folder, open it.
- Right-click the eclipse application and select Pin to Start Menu. OR select Create Shortcut and place the shortcut on your Desktop.
- You should now be able to run Eclipse from your Start Menu or Desktop.
