Before Installing
- Make sure your system is supported (see the System Requirements).
- Make sure you have a supported IDE based on
Eclipse , installed. You can download Eclipse
from the Eclipse.org
website.
Installing into Eclipse 3.3 or above requires the full Eclipse SDK including the PDE.
Use the Eclipse Classic, Java EE or RCP/Plug-in Developers distribution or install PDE separately.
- Make sure you have Java installed. If you are using a 64bit environment,
you need to use the zip files or update site. If you really want to use the
installer, you can temporarily install a 32 bit Java and use the -vm flag to
point the installer to it. You can download Java from Sun's website.
- For Eclipse 3.4 and above, do not use the full installer. Please use
the update site (recommended) or the zip file.
