Support for the Lightning Component Framework is generally available in Summer ’16
(Force.com IDE v37.0) and later versions of the Force.com IDE. Be sure to select
Lightning Support when you install or update the Force.com IDE
plug-in.
Force.com IDE is in a
maintenance-only state. We still provide support for the product through our official
channels, but updates prior to October 12, 2019 will be only for critical security
issues that arise. On October 12, 2019, we will no longer provide support or updates of
any kind for Force.com IDE. On that date, we will also begin archiving documentation and
removing download links for the product. We recommend that you start migrating to Salesforce Extensions for Visual
Studio Code or one of the great tools made by our partners. For more
information, see The Future
of Salesforce IDEs on the Salesforce Developers Blog.
For Force.com IDE installation instructions, see
Install the Force.com IDE Plug-In.
