Setup Eclipse Page edited by Ralf Eichinger Table of contents Installation Configuration Some basic preference settings Plugins Subclipse Homepage: http://www.eclipse.org/ Download: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ File(s): Windows: Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers: eclipse-jee-ganymede-SR2-win32.zip (168 MB) Linux: Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers: eclipse-jee-galileo-SR1-linux-gtk.tar.gz (188 MB) Installation Windows: Unzip ZIP-file to an appropriate folder (C:\Program Files) Rename unpacked folder "eclipse" to "Eclipse_Ganymede" Create a desktop shortcut or quick launch icon to the executable "eclipse.exe" in the unpacked folder Linux: Terminal # cd /usr/local/bin/ # tar xvfz /home/ralf/DOWNLOADS/eclipse-jee-galileo-SR1-linux-gtk.tar.gz # mv eclipse/ eclipse-galileo/ Configuration Change start parameters in "C:\Program Files\Eclipse_Ganymede\eclipse.ini" or "/usr/local/bin/eclipse-galileo/eclipse.ini" Windows: File eclipse.ini -showsplash org.eclipse.platform --launcher.XXMaxPermSize 256M -vm C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_13\bin\javaw.exe -framework plugins\org.eclipse.osgi_3.4.3.R34x_v20081215-1030.jar -vmargs -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5 -Xmx700m -XX:MaxPermSize=690M Linux: File eclipse.ini -startup plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.201.R35x_v20090715.jar --launcher.library plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_1.0.200.v20090520 -product org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product -showsplash org.eclipse.platform --launcher.XXMaxPermSize 256m -vmargs -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5 -XX:MaxPermSize=690m -Xms40m -Xmx700m Note: Xmx and XX params must be appropriate to your available memory. If Eclipse does not start, down tune them. Start Eclipse using shortcut In Workspace Launcher point the "Workspace:" field to a new Workspace-folder like "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\DEV\<companyname>" (Windows) or "/home/ralf/DEV/<companyname>" (Linux). Better would be a very short path for the workspace directory (to avoid later problems if your project has a very deep folder hierarchy/packages), e.g. "D:\WORKSPACES\<companyname>" (Windows) Don't check "Use this as default..." (so it will be easier to switch between different workspaces later) Close "Welcome" tab.
