 Eclipse is a Java application and as such requires a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to run. Several different JVM providers are available, including OpenJDK and Oracle Java. EMAC recommends installing OpenJDK version 6 or 7 to support the Eclipse 3.6 distribution. If you will not be doing any software development in the Java language, a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is sufficient.  Otherwise, you will need to install a Java Development Kit (JDK). See the [http://openjdk.java.net/ OpenJDK ] or [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html Oracle ] website for installing either the JVM or JDK.
-Installation instructions will vary widely depending on the Linux distribution used on the development system. Most distributions, including Ubuntu and Debian, have standard packages available for OpenJDK on the distribution's software repositories. For example, to install OpenJDK6 JRE on Ubuntu or Debian, use the <code>openjdk-6-jre</code> package. For a JDK, the <code>openjdk-6-jdk</code> package can be installed instead of the JRE.
