Development Environment for MCS-270 (Spring 2012)

This page lists the software we have loaded onto the departmental computers and will be using in this course. The idea is that you can load the same software onto your own computer if you like. Newer versions may have been released since the lab computers were setup. Hopefully this won't matter. Please let me know if I have overlooked anything or issues arise.

  1. Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers

  2. EGit plugin for Eclipse (version control); put the download URL listed on that web page into Eclipse's "Install New Software" panel, select both EGit and the underlying JGit, and install.

  3. Google Plugin for Eclipse; put the download URL listed on that web page into Eclipse's "Install New Software" panel, select everything except the Android portion, and install.

  4. Google Chrome (web browser); used for the Google Web Toolkit development environment (current versions of most other browsers are incompatible)
