31 May 2005 This tutorial steps a new user of Eclipse through his first Eclipse project. It is geared toward an existing Visual Studio developer, and will present Eclipse concepts, terminology, and workflow in the context of Visual Studio. The tutorial will draw parallels between the two IDEs and, where appropriate, point out key differences.
Prerequisites
The tutorial is geared toward the Visual Studio® and Visual Studio .NET® developer, so it assumes you will be running on Windows® (This tutorial will use the term Visual Studio to refer to both Visual Studio and Visual Studio .NET). However, because Java™ technology and Eclipse are available for many platforms, the tutorial can easily be followed for non-Windows platforms. The tutorial also assumes a basic knowledge of object-oriented concepts, such as inheritance, interfaces, and classes.
System requirements
Before beginning, make sure you have downloaded and installed the following:
- The Java 2 Standard Edition Software Developers Kit (J2SE SDK), V1.4.2 or later -- Run the setup and install the files to a location such as c:\j2sdk1.4.2.
- The Eclipse SDK V3.0.2 or later -- The Eclipse installation is distributed as a zipped file. Unzip the contents to c:\Programs.
