The Eclipse Foundation - home to a global community, the Eclipse IDE, Jakarta EE and over 375 open source projects, including runtimes, tools and frameworks. The integrated development environment Eclipse is a powerful tool for computer programming. It features the base workshop as well as extensive plugin support, letting you. Some of the leading Java IDEs (such as IntelliJ and Eclipse) are also the basis for leading IDEs in other programming languages (e.g. For Python, IntelliJ is rebranded as PyCharm, and Eclipse has the PyDev plugin.). In this handout we will download Eclipse Standard 4.4 for Mac OS. The version you should download is Eclipse IDE for Eclipse Committers. It is critical that Java, Python, and Eclipse are either all 32 Bit or are all 64 Bit (and only if your Machine/OS supports 64 Bit): I think it easiest on Macs to use 64 Bit for everything. To use it with Python, install Eclipse IDE for JavaScript and Web Developers, based on Eclipse Neon 4.6, then add the PyDev plugin. PyDev and Eclipse work together to.

Eclipse is an integrated development environment (IDE) which provides the platform for computer programming. It is the most used java programming platform which contains a base workspace and provides the programming environment for other languages also like C, C++ via external plugins.
In this tutorial, we will learn the steps involved in the installation of eclipse on MacOS.
Prerequisites
- MacOS
- Login as an administrator on terminal.
Installation
Installation of Eclipse on MacOS includes several steps described below.
1) Download the latest version
This step involves downloading the latest version I.e. eclipse oxygen (by the writing of this tutorial). To install eclipse on our MacOS, we must download the latest version of eclipse by visiting its official website or simply clicking the link http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/oxygen/1a/eclipse-java-oxygen-1a-macosx-cocoa-x86_64.dmg . The downloaded file exists in disk image file(dmg) format which is to be mounted first to get started with the installations.
2) Mount the dmg file

The dmg file which is downloaded from the official website of eclipse needs to be mounted first to the volumes directory. Hdiutil command can be used with the mount option to mount the file into the volumes folder. The process is shown in the image.
3) Copy Eclipse.app into Applications
After mounting the file, Eclipse.app is created inside /Volumes/Eclipse. This is an application file which needs to be copied to the application directory. The file needs to be unmounted after its deployment into the application directory.
4) Unmount the file
Unmounting the file simply involves ejecting the installer. For this purpose, unmount option is used with hdiutil command.
Well, we have successfully installed Eclipse oxygen on our MacOS.
