Using Default Installation

For information on how to use the default Eclipse installation on WAM/GLUE systems visit the web site:

Keep in mind that your WAM account will not provide access to a GLUE machine.  To access a glue machine you need an glue account. As a UMCP student you are entitled to such account for free.  The following site can provide more information regarding glue accounts:

Using Non-Default Installation

You can also access Eclipse by logging on to one of the WAM/Glue linux machines. Computer labs with linux machines on campus are:

• A.V. Williams Building Rm 1120

• Mathematics Building Rm 2403F

• Parking Garage II Rm 0504 

After logging on to one of the linux machines follow these steps:

• Open a terminal window (right-click and select XTerm)

• In the terminal window type the following command

          /pub/nelsonp/eclipse-linux-launcher

Usually the default and non-default installations use the same Eclipse version.  The non-default installation will correspond to the Eclipse version used in CS1/CS2 during the current semester.

After Launching Eclipse

• After being launched Eclipse will ask you to specify the workspace to use.  The workspace is a folder used by eclipse to keep all your work.  Specify an already existing folder or accept the default provided by Eclipse.  (If you are launching eclipse from a WAM/GLUE machine just accept the default.) The following is an example of the  message you will see from Eclipse regarding the workspace:

• Press ok to continue.
• After pressing ok you will see the following window:
