1. Eclipse does not come with a bundled Java Development Kit. Download and install JDK 1.4 (Sun or IBM) http://java.sun.com/j2se/downloads/index.html

2. Download and install Eclipse 3.2.1 from:

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.2.1-200609210945/eclipse-SDK-3.2.1-win32.zip

3. By default,Eclipse supports only basic Java Development. Most of the advanced features are available in the form of pluggins which may be downloaded and installed from there respective repositories. MyEclipse is a mini-IDE which is installed as an add-on to the Eclipse. Download and install MyEclipse 5.1 from:

4. To deploy the web applications,we need a Servlet container like tomcat or JBoss. Download and install Tomcat 5.0.x (or other compliant Servlet/EJB container) from http://www.axint.net/apache/jakarta/tomcat-5/v5.0.28/bin/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28.exe
