Get started

Download the archive

Grab the archive for your platform with the buttons above: .zip for Windows, .tar.gz for Linux.

Unpack it

On Windows extract into a short path such as C:\eclipse-sdk, since deeply nested folders can run into the path length limit. On Linux run tar -xzf eclipse-SDK-vogella-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz.

Start the IDE

Run eclipse\eclipse.exe on Windows or ./eclipse/eclipse on Linux, and pick a fresh workspace directory when prompted.

Report what you see

The point of this build is feedback on the patches. Comment on the matching pull request if something behaves differently than expected.

This is an unsigned, experimental build made from pull requests that are still under review. Use it next to your daily IDE, on a throwaway workspace, not for production work.

What you get

Eclipse SDK with patches

A complete Eclipse SDK built from the current Platform sources plus the pull requests that are waiting for review.

EGit and m2e included

Git and Maven tooling are already provisioned, so the IDE is usable for real projects right after unpacking.

No installer

A self-contained archive: unpack it anywhere, delete the folder to remove it, and keep your existing IDE untouched.
