You don't need superuser rights or experience to install DVT!!!

You don't need root, admin etc. rights in order to install Eclipse and DVT. It can be done in your home directory, using simple unzip operations. You don't have to compile anything.

System Requirements

• OS (32 or 64): Linux, Windows, Solaris, MacOS
• Java: 1.6 or newer
• Eclipse: 3.6 or newer

Installation

There are several ways to install DVT, tailored to match your experience level or access constraints:

• quickly from a pre-packaged Eclipse distribution which includes Java and DVT
• from the update site
• from the archive, for example if you are behind a firewall

Notes

1. To avoid unexpected crashes, it is recommended to edit the eclipse.ini file in the eclipse directory and add the missing lines (see below)
