Eclipse Installer

The Eclipse Installer, powered by Oomph, automates the installation and update of Eclipse development environments:

• Windows 64 Bit (self-extracting exe)

• Windows 32 Bit (self-extracting exe)

• Mac OS 64 Bit (tar.gz)

• Linux 64 Bit (tar.gz)

• Linux 32 Bit (tar.gz)

To download the latest nightly build of the installer, pick one of Windows 64 Bit, Windows 32 Bit, Mac OS 64 Bit, Linux 64 Bit, or Linux 32 Bit.

You can also install the Oomph runtime into an existing IDE from the latest update site or site archive. See update sites for more...

Our help center is still work in progress but you may already find answers to your questions there.

The installer is provided by the Oomph project. If you are in doubt about the project's name see what The Free Dictionary says.

Update Sites

We offer three types of drops: release, milestone, and nightly. They can be found in these composite repos:

• http://download.eclipse.org/oomph/updates/release
• http://download.eclipse.org/oomph/updates/milestone
• http://download.eclipse.org/oomph/updates/nightly

The following is an uber composite of the three above composites:

• http://download.eclipse.org/oomph/updates

For each of the four composite repos we offer a smaller variant that contains only the latest drop:

• http://download.eclipse.org/oomph/updates/release/latest (contains only the latest release build)
• http://download.eclipse.org/oomph/updates/milestone/latest (contains only the latest milestone build)
• http://download.eclipse.org/oomph/updates/nightly/latest (contains only the latest nightly build)
• http://download.eclipse.org/oomph/updates/latest (contains only the latest build)

The single drops are individually available under http://download.eclipse.org/oomph/drops as follows:

Note that at most five nightly drops are kept and that milestone drops are only kept until shortly after the next release.
