SE450: Using Eclipse: Install Java, Eclipse and Graphviz [1/10]

There is a video walking through these steps on windows: Java/Eclipse/Graphviz installation

Quick links:

• Java
• Eclipse
• Graphviz

• Install Java.

  You must have Java 8 or better. (The java version provided by Apple is not sufficient.)

  You can download Java from Oracle

  Get the JDK, also known as the Java SE Development Kit.

  As long as you have a 64 bit machine, you should get the 64-bit version, rather than the 32-bit version.

  The java installer is an executable file, and you should run it.

  
  

• Download Eclipse IDE for Java Developers from here: Eclipse Downloads

  You must get Eclipse Luna (4.4) or later. Older versions will not work.

  You should get Eclipse IDE for Java Developers. The main difference between versions is the number of packages that come pre-installed. This is the smallest version that has everything we need.

  
  
  

  Eclipse comes as a zip file. You should unzip it to C:\Program Files on windows and /Applications on OSX. If you have trouble on windows, try unzipping to a different directory.
