Troubleshooting Java
Installation

1. Check if there are any pre-existing Java installs. Uninstall them and

reinstall again.

2. Temporarily turn off firewalls and antivirus software.

3. If you get file corrupt message, download the installation file again.

4. Check if you are on 32-bit OS or 64-bit OS. Remember, Java 9 is not

supported on 32 bit windows.

5. Check if you need PATH variable to point to right Java Version

Installing Eclipse

Eclipse is the most popular open source Java IDE.

Choose the latest available version of Eclipse - Eclipse Oxygen (4.7) or Later.

Tip : Do not use an old eclipse version!

Prerequisites

Java JDK 9

Installation

1. Search google for “download eclipse” and choose the first result. The

direct link is http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/eclipse-packages/. 

2. Choose the right Operation System. 

http://beacon.by/magazine/pdf/in28minutes/installing-java-and-eclipse?type=print 21/24
9/17/2018 in28Minutes | (0/10)

1.

2. We recommend to choose “Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers”. Choose

32 bit or 64 bit based on your operating system. (Right-click My

Computer, and then click Properties. If "x64 Edition" is listed under

System, your processor is capable of running a 64-bit version of

Windows.)

3. Wait for the download to complete. Extract the zip file to a folder

(Example : c:\eclipse).

4. When you unzip Eclipse, the directory layout looks something like this:

eclipse/
features/ ''the directory containing
Eclipse features''
plugins/ ''the directory containing
Eclipse plugins''
eclipse.exe ''platform executable''
eclipse.ini
eclipsec.exe ''(windows only) console
executable''
epl-v10.html ''the EPL license''
jre/ ''the JRE to run Eclipse
with''
notice.html
readme

1. You can start Eclipse by running eclipse.exe on Windows or eclipse on

1. other platforms. This small launcher essentially finds and loads the JVM.

On Windows, the eclipsec.exe console executable can be used for

improved command line behavior.

Troubleshooting

Use 7Zip instead of windows built-in decompression utility.

Unzip to root folder (e.g. c:) compared to a long directory path (e.g.

c:\Program Files\Eclipse).
