Eclipse Tutorial

Installing Java 13 and Eclipse (2019_12) (USB PC)

For USB PC

You can install Eclipse and Java on a USB drive, and run Eclipse from a PC with a USB port. Keep in mind that it can be slow to access Eclipse following this approach. You need around 1GB just for Eclipse and Java, therefore a USB drive of at least 2GB is recommended.

  1. Copy the Java JDK (e.g., jdk-13.0.2.8-hotspot) from your PC to the USB drive. You will find the JDK under C:\Program Files\AdoptOpenJDK
  2. Copy the Eclipse folder distribution to the USB drive.
  3. In the Eclipse folder you will find a file named eclipse.ini. At the top of the eclipse.ini file add the location of javaw.exe. For example, assuming the usb jdk location is F:\jdk-13.0.2.8-hotspot, the information to add will be:

                -vm 
                F:\jdk-13.0.2.8-hotspot\bin\javaw.exe
    	    
    Do not leave any blank spaces before the -vm and the path (e.g., before F: above).
  4. Add to Eclipse the CS Course Management and CVS plugins if they are not already part of the Eclipse distribution you copied above.
