Eclipse Development on Mac

I am moving my Eclipse development to Mac and as far as possible I am completely new to Mac. I am using Eclipse to write code for Android, BlackBerry, straight Java, etc.

On a PC, I would install an instance of Eclipse in a separate folder for each platform I developed for. This means that plugins for each of these platforms will not collide with each other.

So, I will have c: \ code.android \ eclipse, c: \ code.blackberry \ eclipse, etc.

Where can I install instances of Eclipse on Mac. I saw the \ dev folder from the root, but it didn't look like I should be installing something there.

Thank.

My advice would be to create a Development Sub / Applications folder and place the Eclipse folder you downloaded in Development, then right click on it and select the duplicate (as many times as you need).

Finally, rename the folders you duplicated "Eclipse - Java", "Eclipse - Blackberry", etc. or similar.



That's all you need to do.

Mac apps usually don't have an installation procedure, you usually just drag and drop them into the apps folder.

you can also install a separate instance rather than c: \ put them in / Applications and name them appropriately, as simple as this ...



also there is no real installation for eclipse, you just drag and drop the app to the app folder and that's it.
