Getting Started

To begin, make sure Eclipse is installed and working on your computer. It is often useful to install Eclipse onto a Linux environment, because it more closely mirrors the actual testing environment where your code will be compiled. I won't go into details, but in particular, installing Ubuntu Linux, or one of its derivatives such as KUbuntu, is very easy.

On a Debian-based Linux such as Ubuntu, installing Eclipse should be as easy as

apt-get install eclipse

or

aptitude install eclipse

On an RPM based distribution such as Red Hat Linux or Fedora Core

yum install eclipse

should do the trick.

You can also install Eclipse graphically through the package manager, such as Synaptic, Adept, or simply what will be marked as "Manage Software","Manage Packages","Add and Remove Programs", or something similar in your menu.
