HostBridge IDE

Prerequisites

The Java Run-Time Environment (JRE) must be installed on the workstation prior to executing Eclipse.

Ready to Run, Eclipse + HostBridge

Eclipse Program Files

        You can upload the current version of Eclipse with the HostBridge plugin here: 

https://download.hostbridge.com/eclipse/eclipse-2022-03-win_64b.zip

The 64 bit version of eclipse requires the 64 bit version of the Java JRE. To determine your version of Java issue the following command at the windows command prompt: java --version
  1. Unzip the package, maintaining the directory structure (usually the default).
  2. Copy the "eclipse" directory to the location where you wish the eclipse program executables to reside. We recommend "Program Files" if you have the proper permissions, but any location will do. For best performance don't use a network drive. This directory should not be concurrently shared with another user running this copy of eclipse.
  3. From within the eclipse directory, right mouse click the eclipse.exe and create a shortcut, drag the shortcut on to your desktop. Windows 7/8/10 users can "Pin to Taskbar" or "Pin to Start Menu" the eclipse.exe instead of creating a shortcut.
