We will be using a special version of the Eclipse development environment, modified specifically for use in this class. You must download the version of Eclipse distributed this quarter. There are PC and Macintosh versions of the software. Installation instructions are available in the Downloading Eclipse handout. Additionally, you will need the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed on your computer. Links to the software are below:
Mac Users
You will want to download Stanford Eclipse for Mac. Your Mac should come with Java. However, run the Software Update utility (in the Apple menu) to make sure you have the most recent version. To help you out, we have a video showing how to install Stanford Eclipse on a Mac.
Windows Users:
You will need to download two pieces of software: Stanford Eclipse for Windows, and the Java 1.6 JRE installer for the PC. If you're having trouble running Eclipse, try using 7zip to unzip it instead of the built-in Windows unzipping. You can get 7zip here. To help out, we have a nifty video on how to install Stanford Eclipse on Windows.
Miscellany
If directed by a TA or section leader to get a different version of Eclipse, you may need to install the plugin separately. You can download the Stanford Eclipse Plugin and have a TA or section leader guide you through the installation.
