Install Eclipse Classic
From the Eclipse Website:
Eclipse Classic is the most recent release from the Eclipse top-level project (it is what has traditionally been the main download on this site). It contains what you need to build applications based on Eclipse technology, including integrated development environments (IDE), and rich client applications using the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP). The Eclipse Classic provides superior Java editing with incremental compilation, the Plug-in Development Environment (PDE), complete source code for the Eclipse Platform, and much more.
The BUG SDK requires Eclipse Classic version 3.3
The latest version of Eclipse Classic is 3.3.2 and can be downloaded here.
To install Eclipse:
- Download the Eclipse Europa 3.3 Package (.zip, .gz) from the Download page to your desktop.
⇒ Note : You will need a copy of the archive file on each environment you are running (e.g., XP, Vista, Linux). - Extract the Eclipse archive file to your computer.
⇒ Note : Windows Vista will create the new project folder at Computer/Local Disk/Users/UsersName
For help on using Eclipse Classic, consult Eclipse Classic Help here.
