The Basics

1. Go to http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/downloads/
2. Choose latest stable build
3. On next page select the "all in one package" if you're new to Eclipse. Otherwise choose PDT Runtime. If you have an existing Eclipse installation (see prerqu on the top of the page) you may want to add an update site like http://download.eclipse.org/tools/php/updates/). More about this later
4. Obviously you'll need a Java installation. Goto http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp - Don't get confused (you will!) , you just need the JRE (Runtime system) not the JDK (development stuff)
5. Unpack the zip
6. In an ideal world you can just start the Eclipse executable (eclipse.exe on Windows)
7. Eclipse will ask you for a workspace location - this is where Eclipse stores all your file - e.g. d:\dev\workspaces\driki

Eclipse comes with CVS integration only. Since Driki is hosted in a SVN repository we'll use the great Polation SVN plugin (http://www.polarion.org/index.php?page=overview&project=subversive ). Rather than doing manual download/copy stuff we'll use Eclipse build in update manager.

1. In Eclipse go to Help->Software Update ->Find an install
   
   
2. Check "Search for new features to install"
   
   
3. This dialg shows all the configured update sites. Note, that you can also update your current installation. Now select "New Remote Site..", give it a name and use http://www.polarion.org/projects/subversive/download/1.1/update-site/. After clicking ok you'll see the update sites dialog again, but with the new site
   
   
4. Now click Finish. In the following dialog select "Subversion" and "Subversion client". Note that there is a small help text right under the list
   
   
5. Accept the license after consulting your lawyers, next, finish.
