GLART Week 1 Assignment: Setup Eclipse Project First we want to get a simple OpenGL application running. To do this we need to install Eclipse, create a project, then download the project files and test them out. Here are the steps: 1) install java http://java.com If you already have Java version 1.5 or later installed you can skip this. I followed the default install options for the latest Java version. 2) download eclipse. http://www.eclipse.org/downloads download "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" (be sure to choose Mac or Windows version) 3) unzip eclipse archive On the PC I unzipped the eclipse archive into a folder The eclipse executable is in the eclipse folder 4) Start Eclipse click OK to accept the workspace folder, or choose a new folder Remember this folder, since this is where we'll put source code for our project.
