How to Create Your First Java Project Using Eclipse IDE

Step 1: Install Eclipse

1. Download the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers from the official

website: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

2. Choose the appropriate version for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).

3. Follow the installation instructions provided on the website to install Eclipse.

Step 2: Launch Eclipse

1. Once the installation is complete, open Eclipse.

Step 3: Set Workspace

1. Upon launching Eclipse, you’ll be prompted to select a workspace location. This is the

directory where your projects will be stored. You can choose the default location or specify a

custom one. Click “Launch” to proceed.

Step 4: Create a Java Project

1. In Eclipse’s main window, go to “File” > “New” > “Java Project”.

2. In the “Project Name” field, give your project a name (e.g., “MyFirstJavaProject”).

3. Ensure that the “Use an execution environment JRE:” option is selected and choose a

suitable Java version from the dropdown (e.g., JavaSE-1.8).

4. Click “Next”.

Step 5: Configure Project Settings

1. In the “Configure Project” dialog, you can configure additional project settings if needed. For

now, you can leave these settings as their default values.

2. Click “Finish”.

Step 6: Create a Java Class

1. In the “Package Explorer” on the left-hand side, right-click on the “src” folder under your

newly created project.

2. Go to “New” > “Class”.

3. In the “Name” field, give your class a name (e.g., “HelloWorld”).

4. Click “Finish”.
Step 7: Write Java Code

1. In the editor that opens for the “HelloWorld” class, you’ll see the main method stub:

public static void main(String[] args) {

System.out.println(“Hello, World!”);

Step 8: Run the Program

1. Right-click anywhere inside the editor window.

2. Select “Run As” > “Java Application”.

Step 9: View Output

1. In the “Console” tab at the bottom of the Eclipse window, you’ll see the output of your

program: “Hello, World!”.
