We keep a list of available Grid middleware specific implementations that are build upon the g-Eclipse framework. Please have look at them and give them a try. You must install one of them to use g-Eclipse!
Installing the stable version (0.5) and the latest release (1.0)
First you have to download and install a Platform Runtime Binary; g-Eclipse 0.5.0 is tested with Eclipse 3.3 (Europa), while from 1.0 Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede) is needed.
The 1.0 release build is available from the g-Eclipse Update Site at http://download.eclipse.org/technology/geclipse/updates/1.0/.
The 0.5 release build is available from the g-Eclipse Update Site at http://download.eclipse.org/technology/geclipse/updates/0.5/. Both require that external dependencies can be installed from the Eclipse Europa and Ganymede/Galileo Discovery Sites.
