How to Install Eclipse on Mac

To use Eclipse for Java programming, you need to first install JDK.
To install Eclipse:

1. Download Eclipse from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/. Choose "Mac OS X" ⇒ "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" (or "Eclipse Classic"). You will receive a TAR file (e.g., "eclipse-java-juno-SR1-macosx-cocoa-x86_64.tar.gz") in "~/Downloads" folder.
2. Double-click the downloaded TAR file to expand it into an folder called "eclipse".
3. Drag the expanded "eclipse" folder to the "Applications" folder.

To start Eclipse, open the "eclipse" folder and click on the "Eclipse" icon. You may drag the "Eclipse" icon to the dock.
Notes: To uninstall Eclipse, drag the "/Applications/eclipse" folder to trash.
