Even if the JDK is first in your path, Eclipse will run using the JRE. Of course, you can also add the runtime to the workspace properties after starting Eclipse.Īdding the JDK to the eclipse.ini file has the added benefit of running Eclipse with the JDK. ![]() Either edit the eclipse.ini file within to add the necessary lines to point to the JDK7 VM, or start with the JDK7 as the first Java in your path for the easiest integration. ![]() Download and expand the appropriate archive for your OS. Visiting the Eclipse download page should offer the latest Indigo package, labeled SR1. At least until Apple decides that it’ll offer JDK7 in the app store or via their developer’s site. Run the installer or unpack, as makes sense.įor Mac users, you can visit the openjdk-osx-build project hosted on Google Code it will direct you to the Apple preview project as well as give you updated builds of the reference project. Visit the Oracle Java download page, select the JDK, and when redirected, accept the agreement and download the version appropriate for your computer. Eclipse will run with a Java Runtime Edition, but I recommend grabbing the JDK when trying to develop software. In order for Eclipse to use the new Java version, Java v7 needs to be installed. Of course, it would allow you to compile old code with Java 7, and get Java 7 classes out of the process, but not with Java 7 language updates. None of the new language additions were supported, and it generally became frustrating to try to experiment with Java 7. Prior to this release, you could add a Java v7 runtime, but none of the code tools would recognize 1.7 as an acceptable level. One notable addition is support for Java v7.
