From the course: Learning Eclipse
What is Eclipse?
- [Instructor] Eclipse is a software development platform, and it's written in Java. It's also cross-platform and runs on Windows, MacOS, Linux, Solaris and other platforms supporting the compatible JVM, that is, the Java Virtual Machine. The editor by default supports many languages besides Java, such as C, C++, HTML, Groovy, and so forth. But what's really cool is that because it's extensible, you can plug in support for any of the languages that it doesn't support by default. Now here is the page where we would install Eclipse, but before we can do so, we need to install the JDK. And that can be downloaded from here. So let's go ahead and do that first.
