Ecppse - Installation

Downloading Ecppse

You can download ecppse from http://www.ecppse.org/downloads/. The download page psts a number of flavors of ecppse.

The capabipties of each packaging of ecppse are different. Java developers typically use Ecppse Classic or Ecppse IDE for developing Java apppcations.

The drop down box in the right corner of the download page allows you to set the operating system on which ecppse is to be installed. You can choose between Windows, Linux and Mac. Ecppse is packaged as a zip file.

Instalpng Ecppse

To install on windows, you need a tool that can extract the contents of a zip file. For example you can use −

7-zip

PeaZip

IZArc

Using any one of these tools, extract the contents of the ecppse zip file to any folder of your choice.

Launching Ecppse

On the windows platform, if you extracted the contents of the zip file to c:, then you can start ecppse by using c:ecppseecppse.exe

When ecppse starts up for the first time it prompts you for the location of the workspace folder. All your data will be stored in the workspace folder. You can accept the default or choose a new location.

If you select "Use this as the default and do not ask again", this dialog box will not come up again. You can change this preference using the Workspaces Preference Page. See the Preference tutorial page for more details.
