The Eclipse provides an extensible development platform and application frameworks for building software. The Web Tools Platform (WTP) extends the Eclipse platform tools for developing Web and Java EE applications. They need to be installed as the prerequisite for the Geronimo Eclipse Plugin (GEP), which is used for developing, deploying and testing Java EE assets on the Geronimo server. Eclipse and WTP can be installed in the following manners:

Installing Eclipse using the WTP All-in-One package

The prerequisite Eclipse software for GEP should can be downloaded as a single download, which is called the Eclipse IDE for Java EE developers. It can be downloaded from the Eclipse Downloads site. Download and extract the Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers archives archive, (for e.g. eclipse-jee-ganymede-SR1-win32.zip), to a directory of your choice (for e.g. C:\eclipse). The archive will be extracted to a directory named eclipse under the directory you specified (for e.g. C:\eclipse\eclipse), referred to as <eclipse_home> from now on. Make sure that the JDK in the PATH is Sun JDK 5.0. Launch Eclipse by running <eclipse_home>/eclipse.
