Install Eclipse and Eclipse Verilog editor plug-in

Eclipse 3.2.1 needs 1.4.1 or later version of Java. You can download from [http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/ Java 2 SDK Standard Edition 1.4.2 web page] or [http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5/ Java 2 SDK Standard Edition 5.0 web page] Now Eclipse Verilog editor can run on both 1.4.2 and 5.0. But I tested it on only 5.0. So I recommend to install J2SE 5.0.

You can download Eclipse 3.2.1 from[http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ Eclipse download page]. You can select Eclipse SDK or Platform Runtime Binary. The SDK is full set. The Platform Runtime Binary is minimum set. The Eclipse depends on platform.[http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ Eclipse download page]automatically select a SDK for your platform. If you want the Platform Runtime Binary, you have to select eclipse-platform-3.2.1-<platform>.zip such as eclipse-platform-3.2.1-win32.zip on Windows. Eclipse Verilog editor plug-in is tested on both Eclipse SDK and Platform Runtime Binary on Windows. After downloading, you can simply unzip to any directory where you like. Then you can start eclipse from your installed directory.

You can download[http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=103963&package_id=111746&release_id=442621 net.sourceforge.veditor_0.5.1.zip]. Then you should unzip it to Eclipse plugins directory. If you installed Eclipse in c:\eclipse, the plugins directory is c:\eclipse\plugins. Eclipse Verilog editor is installed correctly if you see net.sourceforge.veditor_0.5.1 in plugins directory. -- It is same manner with other Eclipse plug-in. You can confirm installing by selecting "Help"->"Aboult Eclipse SDK" and pushing "Plug-in Details". If you need source code of Eclipse Verilog editor, You can download[http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=103963&package_id=112277 net.sourceforge.veditor_source_0.5.1.zip]
