How to Install Eclipse

Having trouble installing Eclipse? You aren't the only one. For some reason, actually downloading the required programs wasn't enough. Follow this guide.

1: Download the installer

First thing's first. Download the Eclipse installer from our website. You'll want to do that specifically because it will save time down the road. I'll explain later - just trust me.

2: Download the Java Development Kit

You have a couple of options for this. You can download it at another page on our website at http://www.rockybytes.com/java-development-kit or at the official website for the latest versions: https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk12-downloads-5295953.html

Please note - if you download the latest versions of the Java development kit, you'll need to download a special Eclipse installer.  If I set it up right, that should be no issue - downloading it from our website should give you said special Eclipse installer.

3: Finally execute the installer

Open up the installer now. From this point forward, it's a very straightforward installation process with a few caveats. Just like usual, you select which location to install it into - pick any location you want. After that, you'll also need to select which versions of Java you're developing. Finally, after all that, it'll install and you can begin coding.
