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