1. First and formost, make sure you've configured JDK properly, otherwise here's a review "
Setup JDK on Linux" for you.
2. Before setup MyEclipse, you must have Eclipse installed first. Feel free to skip this step if you've got it.
Eclipse, or Eclipse SDK, to be more specific, can be obtained from
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/index.phpThe one we're looking for is named "eclipse-SDK-3.2RC7-linux-gtk.tar.gz"
Assume you put the file in
/opt, uncompress it by the following command, then there comes a folder name "eclipse"
[root@localhost opt]# tar zxvf eclipse-SDK-3.2RC7-linux-gtk.tar.gz
Enter the "eclipse" folder, and run a test (the very first time, eclipse will ask you to select a workspace)
[root@localhost eclipse]# ./eclipse &
3. MyEclipse is a business IDE based on Eclipse and other Open-souce tools to facilitate J2EE development. You can download it from
http://www.myeclipseide.com/ContentExpress-display-ceid-10.html with
a free 30-day trial, however, accepet the license and login as a memeber is always a must to access the download.
After you login, check the "Development Release", which is, till I write this article, "MyEclipse 5.0 M1 for Eclipse 3.2".
Assume you put the file in
/opt, excute it, then a graphical installation wizard will pop up and guide you through the rest steps.
[root@localhost opt]# ./MyEclipseEnterpriseWorkbenchInstaller_5_0M1_E3_2.bin
4. If you,
unfortunately, come across the problem as I do, while lauching the wizard.
Preparing to install
Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive
Configuring the installer for this system's environment

Note: The installation instruction is not included, as it "should be". However, you can get it from
