Download & Install Eclipse IDE

Eclipse Tutorials

Overview

In this post, we will learn the steps involved to Download and Install Eclipse IDE. Eclipse is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that supports multiple programming languages.

What is Eclipse?

Eclipse is the most widely used Java IDE for development. Eclipse SDK stands for Eclipse Software Development Kit. Eclipse SDK is free and open-source software. It includes the Eclipse Platform, Java development tools, Plug-in Development Environment, etc.

Prerequisites

Operating System: Machine with Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X.

You need to have either the Java JDK (Java development kit) or Java JRE (Java runtime environment ) installed on your machine. JDK is like a superset with all the Java features in it. It allows you to see documentation and source code for the standard Java classes.

Java SE 8 or greater is recommended as of now. Note that the latest Eclipse installer and packages only support the 64-bit operating system(x64).

 

Install JDK

64-bit Version

Download Eclipse

In this tutorial, we will install Eclipse by downloading the Eclipse packages. To know the steps to install using Eclipse Installer follow this link:

Visit Eclipse Website

To download Eclipse, browse to the following URL on your web browser:

https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ 

 

 

Download Eclipse IDE

Select the eclipse version and the operating system that fits. You can choose either the .exe or package.

Click on the Download Packages link.

Choose the right Eclipse Package for 64 bit Windows 10 platform.  For example to develop Java applications and Web applications using J2EE, choose Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java and Web Developers package.

File Format for Eclipse Download package is:

eclipse-jee-<version>-win32-x86_64.zip

 

Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java Download

Install

Download and Extract the package files to the hard disk. We recommended a 7-zip utility to extract the eclipse package. It is recommended to rename the long eclipse file to a short handle name.  Incomplete extraction would lead to errors during the application launch.

 

Eclipse Launcher Error Shared Library

The Eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared library.

Common Errors

Other common errors:

Error if JDK is not installed or PATH not set for JDK on the system.

 

Java Error

 

Mixing 32-bit of Java and 64-bit of Eclipse or vice versa.

The computer architecture, the JDK and the Eclipse should be compatible. For example, on a 64-bit processor, we can run 64-bit JDK and 64-bit Eclipse IDE.

Mixing the 32-bit and 64-bit of JDK and Eclipse would lead to errors.
