Become more productive with your own code and others by utilizing Eclipse's syntax highlighting, code completion, and other amenities. Eclipse is an excellent open source IDE and has many helpful features. It runs on any UNIX® platform with a Java™ Runtime Environment (JRE) (Version 1.4 or newer) and an SWT port, such as Linux®, Solaris, AIX®, and HP-UX. It's easy enough to start a new project using Eclipse or to import an existing Eclipse project, but how do you bring existing code into the IDE? And what if you need to get an existing project compiling right away without modifying its existing makefile or configure script -- the most common ways of building UNIX software? Read along for the answer to all of these questions.
