STEPS FOR STARTING AND SETTING UP ECLIPSE
-----------------------------------------

 1) When running Eclipse for the first time, choose a location for your workspace.
    The default location that I currently have set up for Lab 279 at Redwood is
    "H:\Eclipse Workspace", and unless told otherwise, you should use that location.
    If the workspace folder does not already exist, it will be created.

 2) Once Eclipse starts, click on the "X" in the "Welcome" tab near the top of the
    window to close the "Welcome" frame.

 3) Click on the "Maximize" (middle) button in the upper-right corner of the window
    so that the Eclipse program fills your screen.

 4) On the right side of your screen, click on the "X" next to "Connect Mylyn".

 5) Also on the right side of your screen, click on the two "Minimize" buttons to
    minimize both the "Task List" and "Outline" panels.

 6) At this point, open the file named "Steps for Setting Eclipse Preferences" and
    follow, in order, all of the directions in that file.  Then return to this file
    and complete the steps below.

 7) Go to File --> New --> Java Project.

 8) In the "Project name:" field, type the project name given to you by the instructor.

 9) In the "JRE" section, select the option that begins with "Use default JRE...".

10) Do not change any other settings; click on the "Finish" button.

11) [*** Check with the instructor before completing this step.]
    To create a package, right-click on the PROJECT name (in the panel on the left) and
    go to New --> Package.  The package name should be in all lowercase letters and
    must not contain any spaces.

12) To create a class, right-click on the PACKAGE name (in the panel on the left) and
    go to New --> Class (if using the "default package", right-click on "src").  The
    class name should start with an uppercase letter and must not contain any spaces.
    Under "Which method stubs would you like to create?", check the box in front of
    "public static void main(String[] args)", and make sure the other two checkboxes
    are UNchecked.  Do not change any other settings; click on the "Finish" button.
    The class name will become the file name (plus ".java") for your program.

13) Press Ctrl+F11 (press the "F11" key while holding down the "Ctrl" key) to run your
    program.  A "Save and Launch" box will appear.  Check the box in front of "Always
    save resources before launching" and then click on the "OK" button.

14) [*** Check with the instructor before completing this step.]
    To add a JAR (.jar) file to the project, first move (or copy) the JAR file into
    the root of the workspace folder created above.  Then, right click on the PROJECT
    name (in the panel on the left) and go to Build Path --> Add External Archives...
    and then (if necessary) navigate to the JAR file and select it.  It should appear
    in the "Referenced Libraries" section within the project (in the panel on the left).

15) Click on the "X" in the very upper-right of the window to close Eclipse.  If a
    "Confirm Exit" box appears, check the box in front of "Always exit without prompt"
    and then click on the "OK" button.
