Just open the link of Eclipse version you want to use. I have myself used Eclipse versions that are 2 years older and have not found any issues with them. You can find older versions of Eclipse on this link –.

There are not many differences with older versions especially when you want to use it only for automation scripting purpose. In such cases, you might want to use older versions of the Eclipse, so that its not too heavy on your machine. There are good chances of this happening if you are using older computers or laptops. Sometimes it might happen that you start using the latest version of the IDE, and you feel that Eclipse is bit slow to use.

I like to choose my own workplace location and will place all my ToolsQA tutorial projects under it. You can choose whatever place you want for your workspace, but it's easiest to just use the default you're given.

Create a workspace folder where you will contain all the program files you create.

Now you will be able to launch Eclipse from your desktop. Note:(This step is not required, but it's strongly recommended.) Right-click the Eclipse Icon and press ' Send To' -> ' Desktop ( Create Shortcut)'. You can double click on the file to run Eclipse.

Since Eclipse IDE does not have any installer, there will be a file inside the Eclipse folder named eclipse.exe.You may want to Extract the archive to the root of C: drive, thus creating the folder “ C:eclipse”, or just moved the extracted eclipse folder to the root of C: drive if you extracted it already.Once you have downloaded the Eclipse archive you will need to Extract the zip file, which will create the unzipped Eclipse folder.If your computer is a 64 bit Windows, select Windows 64 and if you have a 32 bit Windows, select Windows 32 bit. For Windows users, you will have to know what type of version of your OS you have.You can run ' eclipse.exe' directly so you do not need to install Eclipse in your system.
