GlobalTester framework consists of different Eclipse plug-ins and requires the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers Version 3.6 or higher. Eclipse can be downloaded from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/.
To install Eclipse, all you need to do is unpack the zip file downloaded in the desired directory. No further work is required (other than making sure you have a Java Runtime Environment installed). When you unzip the file, it creates a directory called "eclipse", with multiple subdirectories below that. For example, you could unpack the zip file in the root directory (e.g., C:\) and Eclipse would be installed in C:\eclipse.
The location where Eclipse is installed must be writable for all users who will run GlobalTester. So it is recommended not to install it under "C:/Program files" as this location gets virtualized since Windows Vista.
Installing Eclipse does not change the Windows registry. Please use a third-party unzip program to unpack the Eclipse zip file, such as Winzip, FileZip, or EasyZip.
