The latest version of Eclipse is 4.9 on Mac Informer. It is a perfect match for IDE in the Developer Tools category. The app is developed by The Eclipse Foundation and its user rating is 4.4 out of 5. Eclipse remote video technology allows users simple access to live or recorded video from anywhere directly on a mobile device, tablet, Mac or PC with no need for technical network or router configuration. When you open your Downloads folder, if you see Applications under the Favorites on the left side of the window, you should drag the eclipse folder into Applications. If you don't see Applications, then open a new window for Applications (from the Finder, command-shift-A), and drag the eclipse folder into Applications. In this handout we will download Eclipse IDE for Eclipse Committers for Windows 32 Bit; if your computer uses Windows, continue below; otherwise choose either Mac Cocoa or Linux instead. It is critical that Java, Python, and Eclipse are either all 32 Bit or are all 64 Bit (and only if your Machine/OS supports 64 Bit): I think it easiest to use.

The integrated development environment Eclipse is a powerful tool for computer programming. It features the base workshop as well as extensive plugin support, letting you customize the environment to your tastes.

Get to coding!

Work anywhere thanks to Eclipse’s cloud-based feature that shares your projects to the cloud.

Developed in Java with its main focus being Java, you’re able to code in a variety of languages such as Ada, C, C++, COBOL, Fortran, D, JavaScript, Groovy, Erlang, Haskell, Julia, Lau, Lasso, Python, Ruby, and many more languages thanks to the multitude of plugins available. Expanding upon coding uses, you’re also capable of using Eclipse to develop documents for LaTeX, and create packages for Mathematica.

Eclipse is open source and free, which means that you get frequent updates, many versions with unique features to choose from and a wide variety of plugins. This also means you’re fully capable of taking Eclipse’s code and developing an IDE that suits your personal needs, all while coding within Eclipse itself.

Projects created within Eclipse are easy to maintain and keep secure. However, if you are sharing your computer, other users may be able to access your projects.

Eclipse is great if you’re trying to learn a new programming language, especially if you already know one as you won’t need to install a secondary IDE for that language. To find the new plugin you need for the next language you’re learning, simply use Eclipse’s marketplace. The marketplace has thousands of plugins and tools that are ready to be installed.

Where can you run this program?

Eclipse can be installed on Windows computers, Mac Cocoa, and Linux systems. This gives you full cross-platform use thanks to the cloud feature of Eclipse.

Is there a better alternative?

No, there are many IDE programs out there such as WebStorm IDE, but no IDE truly has as many plugins available and supports as many languages as Eclipse.

Our take

Eclipse is a robust development environment with thousands of plugins supported. The vast selection gives you multiple languages to choose from and other handy add-ons.

How To Download And Install Eclipse For Mac

Downloading

1. Click Eclipse

   The top of the following page will appear in your browser.

   In this handout we will download Eclipse Standard 4.5 for Mac OS X 64 Bit; if your computer uses Mac OS X (Cocoa), continue below; otherwise look for the pull-down list showing Mac OS X (Cocoa) and instead choose either Windows or Linux and then continue below.

2. Click the 64 Bit (under Mac OS X) under the heading Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers (the fourth selection from the top).

   You will see the following page (don't worry about the name of the institution underneath the orange DOWNLOAD button).

3. Click the orange DOWNLOAD button. The site named here, in orange, underneath the DOWNLOAD button: United States - Indiana Unversity (http) is the random one chosen by the download page this time; yours may differ.

   This file should start downloading in your standard download folder. This file is about 200 Mb so it might take a while to download fully if you are on a slow internet connection (it took me about 5 minutes over a cable modem). Don't worry about the exact time as long as the download continues to make steady progress. In Chrome progress is shown on the bottom-left of the window, via the icon

   The file should appear as

   Terminate the window browsing the Eclipse download.

4. Move this file to a more permanent location, so that you can install Eclipse (and reinstall it later, if necessary).
5. Start the Installing instructions directly below.

Installing

1. Double click the file eclipse-cpp-mars-R-macosx-cocoa-x86_64.tar.gz, the file that you just downloaded and moved. It will unzip the file and create an Eclipse application, which appears as

   Move this application into the Applications folder and put it on the dock for simple access. Now you are ready to perform a one-time only setup of Eclipse on your machine.

2. Double-click the Eclipse icon on the Dock that you just created above.

   The following pop-up window will appear

   (note it says Eclipse Cpp here, because I already have Eclipse installed for my work with Python, so on my machine I renamed this application Eclipse Cpp.

3. Click Open.

   The following splash screen will appear

   and then a Workspace Launcher pop-up window will appear.

   In the Workspace text box, your login name should appear between /users and /Documentsworkspace, instead of my name, richardepattis.

   Leave unchecked the Use this as the default and do not ask again box. Although you will use this same workspace for the entire quarter (checking projects in and out of it), it is best to see this Workspace Launcher pop-up window each time you start Eclipse, to remind you where your workspace is located.

4. Click OK.

   Progress bars will appear at the bottom of the spash screen as Eclipse loads.

   Eventually the Eclipse workbench will appear with a Welcome tab covering it.

5. Terminate (click X on) the Welcome tab.

   You will not see the Welcome tab when you start Eclipse after this first time. You should now see the following Eclipse workbench.

   Notice the C/C++ words/icon appear on the top left (in the Window title-bar) and below the upper right-hand corner (beneath the tool-bar).

Eclipse is now installed for C++.
