Java: IDE: Eclipse: Operation: Installation: How to: Where to download 
and how to install Eclipse?
===
Eclipse v3.1.1
===
Steps: Overview:
 1. -Note:
     I first tried Eclipse v3.1.2 but had currently to step back to
     Eclipse v3.1.1 because still too many problems, at least when I
     tried it (e.g. when trying to update or installing the Eclipse
     Visual Editor). Installation of v3.1.1 could be done immediately
     OK.
 2. -Make sure you have the Sun Java JDK installed
 3. -Goto URL
      http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ve/downloads/drops/R-1.1-
200507221721/index.html
 4. -Click on link 'eclipse-SDK-3.1.1-win32.zip'
      http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?
file=/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.1-200506271435/eclipse-SDK-3.1-
win32.zip
 5. -Choose any of the links of the mirror sites to start the download
 6. -Save the download
     1. -Click button 'Save'
     2. -Choose a location on your harddisk to save the download file
         (filesize about 108 megabytes (108428303 bytes))
 7. -The only thing you have to do to install Eclipse is unzip
     this downloaded file (e.g. in the usual way extracting it
     with Winzip to some folder)
     1. -If you should unzip at the command line using
         e.g. PKWare pkzipc.exe
         1. -Open an MSDOS box and type the following command:
              pkzipc.exe -extract -dir eclipse-SDK-3.1.1-win32.zip
              (you will have to adapt the file path of pkzipc.exe to
               the conditions on your computer, so that it can be
               found)
         2. -This will unzip the file, and (in this case) in the same
             directory where you downloaded your file it will create a
             directory with the name
              ECLIPSE
             1. -Note
                  If you should (later) decide to move this directory
                  somewhere else, you can just move this whole
                  directory
                    e.g.
                     Copy ECLIPSE c:\someOtherDirectory /s
         3. -Change to this directory
             (e.g. using Microsoft Explorer)
             1. -E.g. from the command line
                  cd eclipse
         4. -Start the program
              eclipse.exe
         5. -Possibly click button 'OK'
             to accept the default workspace
              c:\documents and settings\<your Microsoft Windows login 
name>\workspace\
         6. -The Eclipse screen opens
         7. -To start programming, click in the right top corner on the
             'workbench' icon
