Download and Run


Before you begin, please refer to the System requirements and supporting software page.

EGL Community Edition is packaged in two ways: 1) full package with required Eclipse components, 2) just plug-ins to install into an existing Eclipse installation. Choose option #1 if you do not already have Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers 3.4 or want to get up and running faster. Choose option #2 if you already have Eclipse 3.4 and would like to install EGL Community Edition along side your other tools.

Installing the full package (recommended):

    1. Download the EGL_CE_1.0.0.zip file and extract it to the directory of your choice.
    2. Run the eclipse.exe command from the \eclipse directory.

Installing the plug-in package:

    1. Download Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers Version 3.4 and extract it to a directory of your choice.
    2. Run the eclipse.exe command from the \eclipse directory.
    3. Download the EGL_CE_plugin_1.0.0.zip file.
    4. From Eclipse, choose Help>Software Updates and click the Available Software tab.
    5. Click Add Site... and the Add site window opens.
    6. Click Archive... , browse the directory where you downloaded the plugin .zip file, and click OK .
    7. From the list, select the site (starting with jar:file:) that includes the EGL Community Edition feature, and click Install... .
    8. Read the the license agreement; if the terms of the agreement are acceptable, accept the license agreement.

You appear to point at the ganymede version of eclipse, but the current one is gallileo, will it work with gallileo?

We have not tested CE with Gallileo, and only support Ganymede for EGL CE 1.0.0.

I can confirm Stish's issues. I can not access either the fule EGL_CE_.zip nor the EGL_CE_plugin_.zip pages.

I tried just now, and once I came to the download screen, and selected "Download with http". From there, I was able to click on EGL_CE_1.0.0.zip and download it just fine.

Did you try the download director version, or raw HTTP download?
