You may want to print these instructions before proceeding.You should read each step completely before performing the action it describes.Because these products may change slightly each semester, I would appreciate it if you would let me know if you find any discrepancies between these instructions and what actually happens when you try to follow them.

Download

IMPORTANT: Install Java first, BEFORE you install Eclipse.

Download Eclipse For Java Programming

Download JavaFX SDK for Windows or Mac Os X. Follow the installation instructions. Install Eclipse. Plugin require Eclipse 3.4 or newer. We recomend downloading Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers for Windows or Mac OS X. Then follow the installation instructions. Download plugin: Windows; Mac OS X.

Java

The following instructions were composed for installing Sun Java 1.5.0_08 (aka JDK 5.0 update 8).This may not be the latest version, but it is the one that we are using this semester.Note: Java is already installed as part of Mac OS X, so no further installation is necessary for these machines.Ensure, though, that you have the right version by typing java -version to the unix command prompt;the response should be something like java version '1.5.0_08'

  • Download and install the Java SDK installer for Mac Download the Mac version of Eclipse Double-click on the file eclipse-mac.dmg to open the Eclipse disk image (You can delete eclipse-mac.dmg afterwards). Drag the Eclipse app into the Applications folder on your Mac.
  • Download Java for OS X directly from Oracle. Get the latest version If an app or webpage you want to use asks you to install Java software, you can download the current version of Java for OS X directly from Oracle's website.

A typical Java installation takes about 400 megabytes of disk space.The installation process reports the exact size.

Downloading

  1. Click Java SE Downloads
    A page, with this label in orange, will be displayed in your browser.
  2. Find the section labeled JDK 5.0 Update 8 and click its Download button (the fourth one from the top). Click Yes to the Security Window pop-up, if it appears. A page, with the label Download in orange, will be displayed in your browser.
  3. Click the Accept button, which appears under Required in red (it is in a small font: look for it carefully).
    Again, click Yes to the Security Window pop-up, if it appears. This page will re-display itself, with this information absent.
  4. Find the black bar labeled Windows Platform - J2SE(TM) Development Kit 5.0 Update 8
  5. Click the link labeled Windows Online Installation (typical download size is ~33.7MB), Multi-language
  6. Save the file it is about to download somewhere on your disk drive. The file will be named jdk-1_5_0_08-windows-i586-p-iftw.exe. The exact form of this interaction will depend on the version of your operating system (on mine clicked Save to the File Download - Security Warning pop-up; then I specified the location for the file; and then I clicked Close to the Download complete pop-up). Store this exe file somewhere permanent on your disk drive, so that you can reexecute it (reinstall Java) later, if necessary. This file is only about 250KB (1/4 MB).
  7. Terminate (X) any windows remaining from this process (e.g., the Download window).

Installing

  1. Double-click the file that you just downloaded, to run it.
    Click Run to the Open File - Security Warning pop-up. You will see a Windows Installer window temporarily then a Preparing to Install window temporarily. You will then see a License Agreement window.
  2. Click the 'I accept the terms...' button.
  3. Click the Next> button.
    You will see a Custom Setup window, for J2SE Development Kit 5.0 Update 8. The default is to get a full installation (~264Mb), which is what you want.
  4. Click the Next> button.
  5. You will see an Installing window (for J2SE Development Kit 5.0 Update 8), whose progress is shown by progress bars (on various panes). Be patient: many megabytes of information is being downloaded and then used to perform the actual installation; sometimes the progress bars lool like they are making no progress.
  6. Eventually, you will see another Custom Setup window, for J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 8. The default is to get a full installation (~131Mb), which is what you want.
  7. Click the Next> button.
  8. You will see a Browser Registration window. Select whatever browsers you want to register for,
  9. Click the Next> button.
  10. You will see another Installing window (for J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 8), whose progress is shown by progress bars (on various panes). This installation will take less time than one for the Development Kit.
  11. Click the Finish button on the Installation Completed pop-up window.

Eclipse

The following instructions were composed for installing Eclipse 3.2 on Windows.The process for Mac/Linux should be similar.If later versions of Eclipse come out before I update these instructions, you might have to go through a slightly different process (please contact me if you do).

A typical installation takes about 134 Mb of disk space (plus the 120 Mb download, which you should keep on your machine, in case you need to reinstall it).

Downloading

  1. Click Eclipse 3.2
    A page, with the label eclipse downloads, will be displayed in your browser.
  2. In the first section, find the text Download Now: Eclipse SDK 3.2, Windows (120 MB)
  3. Click the icon to the left of this text, or the part of the text labeled Eclipse SDK 3.2
    If you are using a Mac, it should sense it and display Mac instead of Windows. If you are not using the operating system it recognizes, click the link labeled Other downloads for 3.2 instead.
  4. Click the icon to the left of the text Download from: for using the default mirror site (or click a site from the list displayed in the box).
  5. Click the Save button to download, somewhere on your disk, the file named eclipse-SDK-3.2-win32.zip (for PCs). The exact form of this interaction will depend on the version of your operating system. Store this zip file somewhere permanent on your disk drive, so that you can unzip it (recreate Eclipse) later, if necessary
  6. Terminate (X) any windows remaining from this process.

Installing

  1. Unzip this file that you just downloaded.
    On most Windows machines, you can
    • Right-click the file.
    • Move to the WinZip command.
    • Click Extract to here
    It creates a folder named eclipse. You can leave this folder here or move it elsewhere on your disk drive.
  2. Create a shortcut on your desktop to the eclipse.exe file.
    On most Windows machines, you can
    • Right-press the file eclipse.exe
    • Drag it to the desktop.
    • Release the right button.
    • Click Create shortcut here
    Now you are ready to perform a one-time only setup of Eclipse.
  3. Double-click the shortcut to Eclipse that you just created. In the Workspace Launcher window, in the box following Workspace:, should appear something like C:Documents and Settingsusernameworkspace (where username is your login on the machine). If you want, you can type in (or browse) another location for the workspace file to be created, but I advise accepting the default.
  4. Check the box labeled Use this as the default and do not ask again.
    Aside: you will be using one workspace during the semester, checking projects in and out of this workspace. If you ever want to re-enable the display of this window, once Eclipse starts, you can
    • Select Window | Preferences.
    • Click the + in front of General or double-click General (after the +)
    • Click Startup and Shutdown
    • Check the box labeled Prompt for workspace on startup.
  5. Click OK
  6. If you want easy access to the workspace, create a shortcut to it (see the instructions above), putting the shortcut on your desktop.
  7. Download (right-click and Save As) Course Library Jar into the same folder that you are using as your workspace (or move this file in the workspace fodler after downloading it elsewhere).
  8. In Eclipse, select Windows | Preferences
  9. Click the + in front of Java or double-click Java (after the +)
  10. Click Installed JREs
  11. Under the Name column, double-click jre1.5.0_08.
  12. Click the Add External Jars... button.
  13. In the Jar Selection window, navigate to your workspace folder, and double-click the file cs15-1xx.library.
  14. In the Edit JRE window, click OK
  15. In the Installed JREs window, click OK
  16. Terminate (X) the Welcome window
    You can always get it back by selecting Help | Welcome
  17. Terminate (X) the Eclipse window.

This page tells you how to download and install Java 8 and Eclipse on Mac OS X, and how to configure Eclipse.

Installing Java 8

  1. Go to the Oracle website. You'll see something like this:

  2. Scroll down until you see a heading beginning 'Java SE 8u65/8u66.' On the right, you'll see a Download button under the JDK header. Click it. The next screen will look like this:

    Click the radio button next to 'Accept License Agreement' and then click on jdk-8u65-macosx-x64.dmg. You'll be asked whether to save the file that is going to be downloaded; click on Save File.

  3. Open your Downloads folder, and double-click on jdk-8u65-macosx-x64.dmg. You'll see this window:

  4. Double-click on the package icon, and follow the instructions to install. When the installation has completed, click on Done. At this point, you may close up the window and drag jdk-8u65-macosx-x64.dmg to the Trash.

Installing Eclipse

Eclipse

  1. If you already have Eclipse installed on your Mac, you need to get rid of it. To do so, first quit Eclipse if you're currently running it. Then, go to your workspace folder (probably in Documents/workspace) and save anything there that you want to keep, because you're about to get rid of this folder. Next, drag the workspace folder to the Trash.

    Go to your Applications folder. One way to get there is, from the Finder, type command-shift-A. You'll a folder named eclipse in there; drag the eclipse folder to the Trash. If you have an Eclipse icon in your dock, remove it from the dock.

  2. Now you're ready to download and install the newest version of Eclipse. Go to this website. You'll see a window like this:

    Scroll down until you see 'Eclipse IDE for Java Developers' and click where it says 64 bit under Mac OS X.

  3. You will see this window:

    Click on the yellow download button. If asked, click on 'Open with Archive Utility (default)' and then click OK. The download might take a few minutes. You should not feel compelled to donate.

  4. After the download completes, folders should automatically expand. If they don't, double-click on the .tar file. When that's done, you should see a folder named eclipse in your Downloads folder. When you open your Downloads folder, if you see Applications under the Favorites on the left side of the window, you should drag the eclipse folder into Applications. If you don't see Applications, then open a new window for Applications (from the Finder, command-shift-A), and drag the eclipse folder into Applications.

  5. Open your Applications folder, and then open the eclipse folder. You'll see an item named Eclipse; if you like, drag its icon into the dock so that you'll be able to launch Eclipse easily.

  6. Launch Eclipse. If you're asked whether you want to open it, of course you do; click Open. You'll see a window like this:

    It will have your user name rather than mine (scot). Select where you want your workspace to be; I recommend the default of your Documents folder. Click the checkbox for using this location as the default, and then click OK.

  7. You'll see a window like this:

    Click on the Workbench arrow in the upper right that I've circled. You shouldn't see this screen again, even if you quit Eclipse and relaunch it.

  8. You'll get an empty workbench like this:

    We won't be using the 'Task List' and 'Connect Mylyn' windows. Click the 'x' on each to close it. Press the mouse on the Window menu item, then choose 'Perspective', and finally choose 'Save Perspective as...'. Enter 'cs10' for the name of this perspective and press return. Your workbench will now look like this:

    You have now installed Eclipse!

You don't have to configure Eclipse the way I do, but you'll probably avoid some confusion if you do. Here's how.

  1. In the Eclipse menu bar, click on the Eclipse menu and then on 'Preferences...'. You'll see a window with two panes. On the left pane is a list of types of things you can configure.

  2. Click on the triangle to the left of General. Then click on the triangle to the left of Appearance. Then click on 'Colors and Fonts.' You should see a window like this:

  3. In the window in the middle, click on the triangle next to Java. Then double-click on 'Java Editor Text Font':

  4. You'll see this window:

    On the right, where you can select the size, click 12. Then close this window by clicking on the window's close button.

  5. Close up the General preferences by clicking on the triangle to the left of General. Click the triangle next to Java and then click the triangle next to 'Code Style.' Then click Formatter. Here's what you should see:

  6. Click the button that says 'New...'. You'll see a window such as this one:

    You can type in any profile name you like. I used 'CS 10':

    Click OK.

  7. You should see a window like this:

    Change the tab size to 2:

    You'll see that the indentation size automatically changes as well.

  8. Click on 'Blank Lines,' and after 'Between import groups' and 'Before declarations of the same kind,' change the values 1 to 0:

  9. Click on 'Control Statements,' and check the first four boxes as I've done here:

    Click OK.

  10. Now click on triangles to close up Java. Click on the triangle next to Run/Debug, and then click on Console:

  11. Click on the green color sample next to 'Standard In text color.' You'll get a color picker:

  12. Slide the slider on the right down, so that you get a dark green. (You're at Dartmouth. What other color could you possibly want?)

    Close the color picker window by clicking its close button, and click OK again to close the Preferences window.

    13. And you're done!
