CS 6 - Summer 2005


Installing Eclipse on Mac OS X (10.2 or above required)

  1. Begin by downloading Eclipse by clicking here

    It should start downloading a file called "eclipse-SDK-3.0-macosx-carbon.tar.gz".

  2. Once that file is downloaded, you will need to decompress it. This may happen automatically, or you may need to double-click on the file to start decompression (likely with the "StuffIt" application). If StuffIt prompts you to download a newer version choose the "Not Now" option.

  3. After decompression you should be left with either a folder called "eclipse" or a folder called "eclipse-SDK-3.0-macosx-carbon" with the "eclipse" folder inside of it. To keep things organized the "eclipse" folder should probably be placed in your "Applications" folder with the rest of your computer's applications.

  4. Be sure to download and install the "Ambient" addition to Eclipse from here

  5. Finally, don't forget to download cs1.jar. This is some helpful code that goes along with our course textbook.
