Installation
There are generally three ways to install Eclipse:
- Manually from Eclipse Downloads
- Via a package manager (snapcraft, pacman, etc.)
- The Eclipse Installer
Recommended installation locations
On Linux:
/home/shadylady/tools/eclipse/eclipse-java/opt/eclipse(according to Linux#Manualsoftwareinstallation)
On Windows:
C:\ProgramData\eclipse\eclipse-java
Workspaces
It is not recommended to put your code in a workspace directory. A "workspace" in Eclipse is more akin to isolated or "portable" application settings; not a place to store projects.
Is is highly discouraged to put code in an Eclipse workspace folder.
Potential workspace locations:
/home/shadylady/tools/eclipse/workspace(Linux)C:\ProgramData\eclipse\workspace(Windows)
Configuration
Application memory
Eclipse will perform terribly unless you give it a few GB of memory (RAM).
In the installation folder, find eclipse.ini . Ensure is contains the following JVM options:
-Xms512m -Xmx2g
The values above are just an example. Scale them to fit your needs. See the official eclipse.ini documentation.
