The prerequisite Eclipse software for GEP 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 archive (for e.g. eclipse-jee-ganymede-SR1galileo-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. Launch Eclipse by running <ECLIPSE_HOME>/eclipse.

Downloading and installing Eclipse and WTP separately

The Eclipse IDE can be downloaded separately from the Eclipse Downloads site. Download and extract the Eclipse SDK archive (for e.g. eclipse-SDK-3.4.15-win32.zip), to a directory of your choice (for e.g. C:\eclipse), referred to as <ECLIPSE_HOME>. The archive will be extracted to the directory <ECLIPSE_HOME>/eclipse.

To install WTP, you can download and install WTP manually or install using the Eclipse Update Manager. Note that you have to install different versions of WTP for Eclipse Galileo (3.5), Eclipse Ganymede (3.4.x) and Eclipse Europa (only 3.3.2 or equivalent), and follow different steps to install WTP.

The Web Tools Platform can be downloaded manually from the Eclipse WTP download, and you will be presented with multiple versions of the WTP. Download the Web Tools Platform Complete archive for your specific release.

  • For Eclipse GanymedeGalileo, extract the archive (for example, wtp-R-3.1-20090616035105.zip) to the directory <ECLIPSE_HOME>/eclipse/dropins.
  • For Eclipse Ganymede, extract the archive (for example, e.g. wtp-R-3.0.3-20081113203138.zip) to the directory <ECLIPSE_HOME>/eclipse/dropins.
  • For Eclipse Europa, extract the archive (for e.g. example, wtp-R-2.0.3-20080710044639.zip) and copy the features and plugins directories into <ECLIPSE_HOME>/features and <ECLIPSE_HOME>/plugins respectively.

Note: Before install WTP on Eclipse Europa, you must have Eclipse SDK 3.3.2 or higher, and certain software prerequisites installed. See Web Tools Platform Release 2.0.3 for more details about the prerequisites.
