Java: IDE: Eclipse: Operation: Installation: How to: Where to download 
and how to install Eclipse?

===

Eclipse v3.1.1

===

Steps: Overview:

 1. -Note:

     I first tried Eclipse v3.1.2 but had currently to step back to
     Eclipse v3.1.1 because still too many problems, at least when I
     tried it (e.g. when trying to update or installing the Eclipse
     Visual Editor). Installation of v3.1.1 could be done immediately
     OK.

 2. -Make sure you have the Sun Java JDK installed

 3. -Goto URL

      http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ve/downloads/drops/R-1.1-
200507221721/index.html

 4. -Click on link 'eclipse-SDK-3.1.1-win32.zip'

      http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?
file=/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.1-200506271435/eclipse-SDK-3.1-
win32.zip

 5. -Choose any of the links of the mirror sites to start the download

 6. -Save the download

     1. -Click button 'Save'

     2. -Choose a location on your harddisk to save the download file
         (filesize about 108 megabytes (108428303 bytes))

 7. -The only thing you have to do to install Eclipse is unzip
     this downloaded file (e.g. in the usual way extracting it
     with Winzip to some folder)

     1. -If you should unzip at the command line using
         e.g. PKWare pkzipc.exe

         1. -Open an MSDOS box and type the following command:

              pkzipc.exe -extract -dir eclipse-SDK-3.1.1-win32.zip

              (you will have to adapt the file path of pkzipc.exe to
               the conditions on your computer, so that it can be
               found)

         2. -This will unzip the file, and (in this case) in the same
             directory where you downloaded your file it will create a
             directory with the name

              ECLIPSE

             1. -Note

                  If you should (later) decide to move this directory
                  somewhere else, you can just move this whole
                  directory

                    e.g.

                     Copy ECLIPSE c:\someOtherDirectory /s

         3. -Change to this directory
             (e.g. using Microsoft Explorer)

             1. -E.g. from the command line

                  cd eclipse

         4. -Start the program

              eclipse.exe

         5. -Possibly click button 'OK'
             to accept the default workspace

              c:\documents and settings\<your Microsoft Windows login 
name>\workspace\

         6. -The Eclipse screen opens

         7. -To start programming, click in the right top corner on the
             'workbench' icon
