I’m beginning a new Java tutorial using Eclipse as my IDE. Every time I have used Eclipse in the past there have been installation problems so, I’ll try to fix that issue here.
I use Eclipse because in my opinion it is the best free IDE available.
Also note that I’ll provide Java 1.7 installation steps for PCs, but Java 1.6 & 1.7 steps for MACs. The reason why I’m doing that is because Java 1.7 isn’t quite ready yet for Eclipse on MACs.
Don’t worry, there isn’t that much of a difference between Java 1.6 and 1.7. At least for a beginner tutorial.
Checking Your Version of Java
Java 1.6 has been around since December 2006, so chances are you already have it installed on your computer. To find out type the following in either your Terminal (MACs), or Command Line (PCs) java -version
When you do you’ll probably see the following:
- Execute Eclipse and then click on Elipse and Preferences in the top menu
- Expand the list item named Java and click Installed JREs
- Click the Add… button
- Java 1.6 should be set as the default
- If not select Standard VM in the JRE Popup Window
- Type /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home into JRE home
- Type Java1.6 as the name
- Click Finish
- Execute Eclipse and then click on Windows and Preferences in the top menu
- Expand the list item named Java and click the Compiler option (Don’t Expand it)
- Check if Compiler Compliance Level is set to 1.7
- If it isn’t change it to 1.7 in the dropdown
- Click on Installed JREs and if you see jre6 as checked you’re done
- If jre6 isn’t checked click the Add… button
- Select Standard VM in the JRE Popup Window
- Under Directory select the home directory for JRE 1.7 (See Above)
- Click Finish

thanks,
MattMay I please request your kind help with installing Eclipse on Ubuntu 12.10 32-bit. I resorted to a Linux distro because my PC repeatedly chrashed under Windows XP Home Edition. I am most grateful for your kind help and advice.
Thank you very much for your most kind help with the Eclipse download. Your instructions have worked well giving me the much needed chance to put in some practise. I am practising with your very helpful code from Tutorials 1, 2, and 3. Sometimes Eclipse detects dead code, though it compiles and runs as expected. Thank you once again for your highly considerate Java Tutorials anlong with your continual help.
