<h1>Download and Install Eclipse</h1>
<ol start=1 type=1>
<li class=MsoNormal>Visit <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/index.php"
title="http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/index.php">http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/index.php</a>
and pick one of the download locations to obtain the Eclipse
3.1 SDK. </li>
<li class=MsoNormal>Unzip the zip file into a directory. </li>
<li class=MsoNormal>To launch Eclipse, just run eclipse.exe in the top level
directory. </li>
</ol>
<h1>Download and Install Java2 SDK</h1>
<ol start=1 type=1>
<li class=MsoNormal>Visit <a
href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html"
title="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html">http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html</a>
and click on the link to download the J2SE SDK. </li>
<li class=MsoNormal>Download and install the J2SE. (Current version as
of Sept 2004: 1.4.2_05) </li>
</ol>
<p class=MsoNormal><em><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Verdana'>Note:
it's not clear to me which Java2 SDK version to recommend. It's probably
best to avoid the 1.5 version, because we don't want to depend on users having
that installed. But it might be better to use an earlier version of 1.4 in
order to avoid depending on bug fixes from later 1.4 versions that users may
not have installed. </span></em></p>
