Using Eclipse [message #791620] |

I am teaching myself Java using the Stanford CS106A videos available through iTunesU. I downloaded Stanfords Eclipse program (Helios?) and am able to run their assignments on it. However, I want to do the problems in the textbook - The Art & Science of Java by Eric Roberts - and cannot get my programs to run on their version. The info on it says the following "Eclipse 3.6 for Mac OS X, Copyright IBM Corp. and others 2002, 2010. All rights reserved." I see a newer version on this site but do not want to trash the version I got through Stanford as I still have about four more assignments.
Is there a way to get this version of Eclipse to allow me to program and run the program on my Macmini OS 10.6.8?
I am really enjoying the challenge of programming in Java but get frustrated when I can't check my work in a run-time environment.
Thanks,
Mike

If you want to develop non-web applications in Java, download Eclipse
IDE for Java Developers. For web applications, Eclipse IDE for Java/JEE
Developers.
As I understand it, iPhone applications are developed, almost
exclusively on Macintosh OS, using Objective C (and not C++). Eclipse
will not help you there. If you're simultaneously interested in Android,
you might look into Titanium/Appcelerator.
If you wish to mix Java development and C/C++, choose either Eclipse for
Java or for C/C++ and then use Help -> Install New Software to go get
the plug-ins for the complementary coverage you didn't get when you chose.
