The Eclipse SDK is an open source application framework which is used to develop applications for the Windows platform. The main aim of the SDK is to enable the development of free software applications. It enables free software development on Windows platforms and enables cross-platform development. The SDK is a part of Eclipse Technology which is the leading software development firm from Germany.
The software download for this SDK can be obtained through many different methods including direct download, installation files or Java downloads. Direct download is the simplest method of downloading the software and has the least complications as it uses a download manager to directly retrieve the software. Installation files are an alternative for direct download. These files contain an entire OS installation. Installation files can be directly installed without the need to install the software into the system. Java downloads are also available that contain the software files used in the software development process.
Before downloading the software, the developer needs to check if it is compatible with the windows platform. This is because some products are designed specifically for windows operating systems and some may not be compatible with the windows platform. To download the software, the developer should go to the home page of the firm, select the option of the link and then press on the download button to obtain the download link. Once downloaded, the software can be installed by the user with the help of the installation files.
