My machine has windows nt 4.0. I downloaded Eclipse-SDK-30 win32 and
j2eesdk-1_4-windows.exe. I see no install or setup program in the Eclipse sdk 30. How do I install it? I click on eclipse.exe and it tells me I need a runtime jdk. When I click on the j2eesdk it looks like it is about to install and then gives me the following error message:The procedure entry point GlobalMemoryStatusEx could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll.
Can someone tell me where to begin. I usually install the software I buy or download and it has a setup program. The Eclipse doesn’t seem to do that. Let me know what I need to do. Thanks.
bones,
First, you don’t need j2eesdk, you need the the j2se sdk. A link for that is available in our download section here:
http://www.myeclipseide.com/Downloads+index-req-getit-lid-12.html
You’ll likely need to log into the portal, then accept the license agreement to get to it. Anyway, download and run the Sun J2SE 1.4.2 installer. After that, use WinZip to unarchive Eclipse to wherever you’d like. Once that’s done, you can test Eclipse by double-clicking eclipse.exe and bringing it up. At that point, I’d suggest you spend some time getting to know how Eclipse works, as the learning curve is kindda high. Search the web for tutorials, examples, etc and get to know it pretty well.Once you’ve spent some quality time with Eclipse by itself, you can install MyEclipse using the double-click installer for Windows in our downloads area.
I have downloaded the j2se package but when I try to install it I get a disk space problem. I have windows nt4.0 which has a 2gig c drive, a 2 gig d drive and a 16 gig e drive. I tell it to install on e, but it still wants to install something on c. I have emptied c to the maximum extent that I can. I set the install to the minimum and I tess it to install on E, but I still get the same problem. Got any suggestions.
Bones,
I want to shed some light on what you are doing as it sounds that this is new to you:If you want to do Java application development (desktop applications, parsing libraries, whatever) then you need to download the Java 2 SE SDK from here: http://javashoplm.sun.com/ECom/docs/Welcome.jsp?StoreId=22&PartDetailId=j2sdk-1.4.2_05-oth-JPR&SiteId=JSC&TransactionId=noreg
Once you have that installed, you can run any Java program you want and develop new ones. To make development easier you can use any number of IDEs to help you code; it sounds like you settled on Eclipse which is an excellent choice. So now you need to go to Eclipse’s site and download Eclipse 3.0 SDK from here: http://download2.eclipse.org/downloads/drops/R-3.0-200406251208/download.php?dropFile=eclipse-SDK-3.0-win32.zip
Once you have that downloaded (~90meg) you can unzip it anywhere you want… there is no installer, you just unzip it and double click the EXE file, now you are ready to start developing your own Java applications.
NOW, if after all that you decide you wanted to get into Java web application development (making web portals in Java, EJBs, etc.) then that is what you would use MyEclipse for. Its a plugin that installs into Eclipse and adds a ton of editing functionality for J2EE (basically java web application) development. If you decide that you don’t want to do that kind of development, then you don’t need MyEclipse, just stick with Eclipse.
Hope that helped.
As far as the installed is concerned, you can check with the Sun forums at http://forums.java.sun.com and for Eclipse questions you can go to Eclipse’s site at http://www.eclipse.org and get a newsgroup account or sign up for the mailing lists and ask there. Of course MyEclipse related questions should be here in these forums.
