macOS need to know how to run ECLIPSE and java on intel mac

[mac000]

I've downloaded eclipse for mac, but I cannot get any of my programs to run properly. I suspect i need some other program to go along with eclipse bc i've compied programs out of my text book so it is not a compiler error.

I am totally new to programming but I need to compile and run programs for a class at my University.

Can someone please tell me what all I need to have a ECLIPSE/JAVA enviornment run properly on OS X?

Once again, i have only downloaded Eclipse and it is verion 3.2.1

THank you!

Have you installed Apple's Developer Tools? These come on your OS X install disk but a more recent version is available from the Apple web site. The download is a few hundred MB so you will want a fast connection before you download.

Developer Tools installs the Java SDK so if you do not have it installed you will have problems using Eclipse.

On Disk 1 of the MacBook OS X install disk there is an "Xcode Tools" folder. Inside this folder is "XcodeTools.mpkg". Run this installer. Then restart Eclipse (you might need to create a new Eclipse workspace for Eclipse to correctly find your newly installed Java SDK.

Don't think it matters, I've got Eclipse running and I never installed Apple's Developer Tools.

You must have installed Java manually then. That's the missing piece for Eclipse. Installing the Apple developer tools is usually the easiest way to do that.
