20. Eclipse Setup
> Open Eclipse
> Go to "Preferences"
> Click on leJOS EV3
> Change the brick name to
the IP address of your brick
 (default is 10.0.1.1)
21

21. Creating a New LeJOS Project
> Go to "File" > "New" > "Project…"
> Choose a LeJOS EV3 Project
22

22. Create a Class File
> Create a new class ("File" > "New"
> "Class")
> Give it a package (e.g. sample)
> Give it a name (e.g. LCDTest)
23

23. Simple LeJOS Application
public class EV3FirstProgram {
public static void main(String[] args) {
LCD.clear();
LCD.drawString("First EV3 Program", 0, 5);
Button.waitForAnyPress();
LCD.clear();
LCD.refresh();
}
}
