Preface

Installing the Eclipse IDE


In this section, we will set up the Eclipse IDE, a tool used by Java developers to create Java EE and web applications. Go to the Eclipse website at http://www.eclipse.org, and download the latest version of Eclipse and install it. As we shall be working with web applications, select the option Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers while downloading the IDE.

As you launch the IDE, it will ask you to select a folder for the workspace. Select the appropriate path, and start the IDE.

The following are some of the different types of projects that developers could work on using IDE:

  • A new Java EE web project.
  • A new JavaScript project. This option will be very useful when you work with a standalone JavaScript project, and plan to integrate with the server components using APIs.
  • Check out the existing Eclipse projects from Git, and work on them.
  • Import one or more existing Eclipse projects from the filesystem or archive.

Import the existing Maven project in Eclipse
