You have two choices here: either work on our server, or install Eclipse on your own computer.

Working on Our Server

Using one of the SunRay  thin clients found all over the place, you can use the reference  installation of Eclipse on our server. Just log in and start Eclipse  using the following command line:

   /home/java/eclipse/eclipse

This  will always point to the current reference installation. Feel free to  setup a link on your desktop to avoid having to start the console every  time.

Installing Eclipse on Your Own Computer

If you want to install Eclipse on your own computer, just follow the Eclipse Installation Guide. Note that you need at least Java 1.5 to run and use Eclipse and KIELER. On Windows, double-click the eclipse.exe found in the installation directory. On Linux, execute the eclipse executable found in the installation directory.

Memory Problems

Regardless of the two methods you've decided on following, Eclipse may well run into problems due to lack of memory. If so, navigate to your installation directory, open eclipse.ini, and edit it to contain the following lines:

--launcher.XXMaxPermSize 256M
--launcher.XXPermSize 64M
-Xmn128m
-Xmx768m
