Installing Eclipse

Eclipse is an integrated development environment (IDE) for Java development.

Eclipse requires a Java runtime environment to run.

While Eclipse is not required to develop integration applications for Salesforce, install Eclipse if you want an easy to use IDE that works with Salesforce.
  1. Navigate to http://www.eclipse.org/downloads in your browser. Download “Eclipse IDE for Java Developers.” Choose either the 32–bit version or the 64–bit version, depending on the version of the JDK you have installed.
  2. Un-archive the downloaded file to a location of your choice. Eclipse does not have a special installation application.
  3. Launch the Eclipse executable in the eclipse folder you just un-archived. On Windows, this is eclipse.exe, on Mac OS X, this is Eclipse.app, and on Linux this is eclipse. Eclipse will ask for the location of a new eclipse workspace. Click Ok to accept the default workspace location.
  4. Dismiss the welcome page by closing the welcome page window. You are now in the Eclipse workbench, ready to create a new Java-based Salesforce integration project.
