Eclipse installation

Download Eclipse

Downloading the JEE version is recommended.

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

Select "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers" Linux (32bit).

Configure Eclipse

Increasing VM memory may improve performance by editing the eclipse.ini file and adjusting its -Xms -Xmx -XX:MaxPermSize options.
If you are getting OutOfMemory exceptions when building the search index you may need to add the following JRE options to your run configuration:
```
 -Xmx2048m -XX:PermSize=64m -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m 
```

Set the M2_REPO classpath variable so Eclipse knows where to find your local Maven repository.

Window/Preferences -> Java/Build Path/Classpath Variable -> Click "New" button, then Name="M2_REPO", Path="~/.m2/repository"

Install plugins

For Eclipse 3.6 ("Helios") and later, you may also use the Eclipse Marketplace to find/install some of these plugins.
