Eclipse Build Drop

Download Details

Eclipse Repository
- The Eclipse Repository includes all that is produced by the Eclipse Project, including the Eclipse Platform, Java development tools, and Plug-in Development Environment, Unit Tests, and even some extra items from other projects required by Eclipse (such as Equinox and a few bundles from EMF and Orbit). Please be aware that repositories have different retention policies, and restrictions on what types can be updated with what other types. See the wiki's Update Sites document for details.
Eclipse SDK
- The Eclipse SDK includes the Eclipse Platform, Java development tools, and Plug-in Development Environment, including source and both user and programmer documentation. If you aren't sure which download you want... then you probably want this one. You will need a Java runtime environment (JRE) to use Eclipse (Java SE 6 or greater is recommended).
JUnit Plugin Tests and Automated Testing Framework
- These packages contain the Test Framework and JUnit test plugins used to run JUnit plug-in tests from the command line. See the Platform's Automated Testing wiki page for more information and setup instructions. Includes both source code and binary.
Platform Runtime Binary
- These drops contain only the Eclipse Platform with user documentation and no source and no programmer documentation. The Java development tools and Plug-in Development Environment are NOT included. You can use these drops to help you package your tool plug-ins for redistribution when you don't want to ship the entire SDK.
Platform SDK
- These drops contain the Eclipse Platform Runtime binary with associated source and programmer documentation.
JDT Core Batch Compiler
- These drops contain the standalone batch java compiler, Ant compiler adapter and associated source. The batch compiler and Ant adapter (ecj.jar) are extracted from the org.eclipse.jdt.core plug-in as a 1.2MB download. For examples of usage, please refer to this help section: JDT Plug-in Developer Guide>Programmer's Guide>JDT Core>Compiling Java code.
SWT Binary and Source
- These drops contain the SWT libraries and source for standalone SWT application development. For examples of standalone SWT applications refer to the snippets section of the SWT Component page.
  
  To run a standalone SWT application, add the swt jar(s) to the classpath. For example, if you extract the download below to C:\SWT you would launch the HelloWorld application with the following command:
  
  java -classpath C:\SWT\swt.jar;C:\MyApp\helloworld.jar HelloWorld
  
  To run the standalone SWT examples that are shipped with Eclipse, download them from here/$VERSION/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.examples_*.jar. Then copy the file to C:\SWT. Now you can run the examples that are described here. For example:
  
  cd C:\SWT
  java -classpath swt.jar;swtexamples.jar org.eclipse.swt.examples.controlexample.ControlExample
  
  On Linux systems, note that the classpath separator character is a colon, so the equivalent command becomes:
  
  java -classpath swt.jar:swtexamples.jar org.eclipse.swt.examples.controlexample.ControlExample
