2. What is an IDE ?
 Integrated Development Environment or Interactive Development
Environment.
 A software application that is used for Software Development.
 E.g. : CodeLite for C/C++, Android Studio for building Android
apps, Xcode for OS X and iOS and many more
 Has inbuilt compiler, interpreter or both.
 Some special functionalities like Version Control System, Graphical
User Interface etc.
 Open source IDEs with free distribution
 E.g. : IDLE (Python GUI), Android Studio, NetBeans etc.
 Proprietary IDEs
 E.g. : Flash Builder for ActionScript, Microsoft Visual Studio,
LispWorks for Lisp etc.
 Cross-Platform IDEs
 E.g. : NetBeans C/C++ Development pack, CodeLite, Eclipse etc.

3. What is Eclipse?
 An Integrated Development
Environment
 Provides many features to ease Java
programming (and others, e.g. C/C++)
 Editor
 Debugger
 Source Control
 …

4. Getting Eclipse
 At home…
 Download the latest version at:
 http://www.eclipse.org/
 You may need to install Java SDK1.5 or JRE if
you haven’t from
 http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp
 For help, send email to the course mailing list

5. Installing and Running Eclipse
 Installation is very simple
 Just unpack the downloaded package
 Running Eclipse
 Then click eclipse.exe (under Windows)
 Run eclipse (under Linux)
 Eclipse will start running if all the prerequisites are
met
 Demo: Run Eclipse

6. Steps of Downloading…
 Downloading
Click Eclipse.

10. Some important concepts
about Eclipse Environment
 Workbench
 Perspective
 Views
 Editor
 …

11. Creating Java Projects
 Demo: Creating a project for
assignment1 in the workspace

12. Creating Java Packages
 A Package in Java is a group of classes
which are often closely or logically related in
some way
 Package corresponds to the directory
hierarchy in the file system.
 course.cs112b1.assignment1
 Organizing source files into different
packages is a good programming style.
 Demo: creating a package

13. Adding Java Classes
 Class is the basic compilation unit in
Java.
 Demo: Creating the Employee class of
assignment1

14. Import existing files
 Some files are given and you want to import
them to your projects rather than creating
them again
 Demo: Importing other files of assignment1 to
the project
 You can also copy-and-paste files to your
project folder
 Refresh the file view if you don’t see them

15. Running the code
 Currently, no implementation is provided in
the given files. You are expected to fill the
implementation details.
 We need a class which has a main() method
as the entrance for execution
 Demo: Adding the main() method in
TestPayroll.java and run the program
