Introduction
Eclipse is an integrated development environment (IDE) which provides the platform for computer programming. It is the most used java programming platform which contains a base workspace and provides the programming environment for other languages also like C, C++ via external plugins.
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. I have personally found that Eclipse can be a bit funky when it comes to C. While Jaybears has already given a great answer, here are some alternatives you could consider for learning C. The C IDE on CodingGround is super useful for compiling simple programs. Its interface is really great for just focusing on the code and not getting. Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers is a tool for Java developers that lets you create JEE and web applications, it includes an integrated development environment for Java, as well as JEE, JDF, and Mylyn interface development tools.
- 7) Open the eclipse folder. 8) Since Eclipse IDE does not have any installer, ther e will be a file inside the Eclipse folder named eclipse.exe. You can double click on the file to run Eclipse. Note:(This step is not required, but it’s strongly recommended.) Right-click the Eclipse Icon and press “Send To” - “Desktop (Create Shortcut).”.
- Because the Eclipse IDE itself is written in Java, if you’re running a clean copy of Lion, you’ll need to download the Java runtime before the Eclipse app will launch. Just double-click on.
In this tutorial, we will learn the steps involved in the installation of eclipse on MacOS.
Prerequisites
- MacOS
- Login as an administrator on terminal.
Installation
Installation of Eclipse on MacOS includes several steps described below.
1) Download the latest version
This step involves downloading the latest version I.e. eclipse oxygen (by the writing of this tutorial). To install eclipse on our MacOS, we must download the latest version of eclipse by visiting its official website or simply clicking the link http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/oxygen/1a/eclipse-java-oxygen-1a-macosx-cocoa-x86_64.dmg . The downloaded file exists in disk image file(dmg) format which is to be mounted first to get started with the installations.

2) Mount the dmg file
The dmg file which is downloaded from the official website of eclipse needs to be mounted first to the volumes directory. Hdiutil command can be used with the mount option to mount the file into the volumes folder. The process is shown in the image.
3) Copy Eclipse.app into Applications
After mounting the file, Eclipse.app is created inside /Volumes/Eclipse. This is an application file which needs to be copied to the application directory. The file needs to be unmounted after its deployment into the application directory.
4) Unmount the file
Unmounting the file simply involves ejecting the installer. For this purpose, unmount option is used with hdiutil command.
