You have three choices for using Eclipse in the course: CCIS UNIX machines, CCIS Windows machines (e.g. in Cullinane 229), and your own machines with lots of RAM. On CCIS UNIX machines: You can run eclipse by typing eclipse from any directory on which you have write permission. Eclipse will make a directory named "workspace" in your current working directory. Any eclipse project in the future will be a single directory in the workspace directory. On CCIS Windows machines: You can find the shortcut to eclipse in "All Programs" folder. The default location where eclipse saves your project is "C:\Temp\eclipse-workspace" To install and run eclipse on your own machine: Find and download eclipse 2.1.2 package from following page: http://download.eclipse.org/downloads/drops/R-2.1.2-200311030802/index.php Extract the package to somewhere you would like it to be. You may find eclipse.exe in the directory you created. To install and run GEF and Omondo plug-ins on your own machine: You need these two plug-ins to succeed in this course. Download these two plug-ins from: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/downloads/drops/R-2.1.2-200310151343/index.php and http://www.eclipseuml.com/dfree.jsp After the downloading is completed, simply extract these two packages into the "plugins" subdirectory of your eclipse home directory. This will allow Eclipse to automatically search and use those plug-ins that you installed. Jun Gong CCS Northeastern Univ. gjoliver@ccs.neu.edu
