Introduction to Eclipse

COMP 1010 Home > Back to Extra Labs

Introduction In this lab, we will introduce you to using Eclipse to code your Java program in. There will be a general overview on how to install Java and Eclipse on Windows and Mac. Basic instructions on how to set up your assignments/projects in Eclipse and debugging tools that you will definitely find useful in Comp 1010 and later courses.

Installing Eclipse

This installation guide will provide you with information on where to download the files and installation order. We assume that you have general knowledge on how to download/install software from the internet, so this guide will not go into step by step detail on what you need to do.

Windows

If you currently do not have JDK ("Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 6 Update 31"), you can download from here.

Note: Install Java first, before installing Eclipse.
