To install using the installer:
The Eclipse Installer provides three levels of guidance to help you choose the Eclipse and OEPE versions, and you should choose the one that best suits your requirements. With each option, you can choose the OEPE components to install.
This is the simplest method of installing Eclipse and OEPE. The most recent version of Eclipse and the appropriate OEPE version are selected.
This option allows you to choose the Eclipse version you want, and then choose from the available OEPE versions for that Eclipse version.
This option allows you specify the capabilities you want. The installer displays the Eclipse and OEPE versions that provide this, as shown in Figure 1-1.
Figure 1-1 Choosing the Eclipse and OEPE Versions
Once you have determined which Eclipse version and OEPE version you want, you can choose the specific components to install, as shown in Figure 1-2.

You can use the Update wizard to download new components.
