Eclipse and Blackwood
This will be a tutorial on how to setup the Eclipse IDE with the intent of using it for Dr. Slator's Blackwood project.
Download Eclipse
Eclipse can be found online here. In particular, a user would want to download Eclipse Classic for their particular platform. This tutorial will target Eclipse 4.2.2 (Juno).
After downloading, you will need to extract Eclipse in a directory of your choice.
Run Eclipse.exe, and the Eclipse program will start. You will be asked to choose a workspace. A workspace is simply where Eclipse stores the project files, pick a sensible place, the default is acceptable.
Eclipse and SVN
Blackwood stores its source code in an Subversion (SVN) repository. By default, Eclipse does not support SVN, so you will need to install a plugin to use SVN. These instructions can be found here.
Eclipse will restart a few times during this install process.
