+    The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is used to run all programs written in the Java programming language. Java 2 is required to run both &eclipse; and &phpeclipse;. Chances are that you will already have this installed. If not, or if you are not sure, visit Sun's <ulink url="http://java.com/en/download">Java Download Site</ulink>, which will provide you with what you need (or inform you if you already have Java 2) for any operating system.

+    If you are using a platform with it's own software management system (such as many linux distributions), you may wish to use your package management system to install Java rather than the Sun download site.

+    Third party Java Runtime Environments (such as <ulink url="http://www.blackdown.org">Blackdown</ulink>) are also available, and may well run this software. Feedback on this is welcome. Our current experience is that Blackdown will not successfully run Eclipse (under Gentoo Linux, Nov 2004).
