Eclipse Setup

We recommend to use the Eclipse platform for host debugging tool.

Eclipse Installation

Download following Eclipse modules for your host operating system:

Eclipse Platform Runtime Binary - the Eclipse base platform (http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/). Recommended version 3.2 or later.
Eclipse Java Development Tools (JDT) - Java IDE plugin- Java development and debug tools (http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/). Choose version to match Platform version.

The above modules are provided as archives and need to be unpacked in same folder. Java 2 Runtime Environment installation is a prerequisite to run the Eclipse Platform. Minimum version of J2RE to run Eclipse is 1.4. More documentation can be found at http://www.eclipse.org/documentation.

Further we will assume you have installed Eclipse in c:/Eclipse. You can activate it by running c:\Eclipse\eclipse.exe.
