Running the IDE

You need a clean install of Eclipse 3.7 Indigo or of Eclipse 4.2 Juno running on Java 7.

• Mac OS users must install Juno and make Java 7 the default virtual machine using the Java Preferences application located in /Applications/Utilities. It is not easy to convince Eclipse Indigo to run under Java 7 on Mac OS.

You cannot run Ceylon IDE on Java 6.

You can install Ceylon IDE (which includes the Ceylon compiler) from our Eclipse plugin update site.

You can get started using the welcome page and cheat sheets. After installing, go straight to Help > Welcome to Ceylon.

Installing the latest development (unstable) IDE

If you want to try the latest build of the IDE before it is released, you have to use the development update site. Beware that this is an unstable and unfinished version.
