Update Eclipse - how to stay up to date

Eclipse is a programming software whose source code was released by IBM in 2001. Today, you can use it for free to develop software yourself. Since the developers of Eclipse are still working on the project, there are regular updates. To stay up to date, it is recommended to install them.

How do you update Eclipse?

With Eclipse, programming is accessible and affordable for everyone. Therefore, you should not miss out on new features and improvements. Installing the latest update for the program is quite simple:

1. Start Eclipse on your PC or iMac.
2. Click on "Help" in the top right menu.
3. Then select the "Check for Updates" option.
4. The program searches for available updates and lists them. Select the updates you want and click "Install" to update Eclipse.

How do you set automatic updates for Eclipse?

If you don't want to remember to check for updates regularly yourself, enable automatic updates in Eclipse. You can find this option under "Install/Update" on the "Automatic Updates" settings page. Folgende Update-Rhythmen können Sie einstellen:

• Automatische Updatesuche bei jedem Neustart des Programms
• Einmal am Tag zu einer von Ihnen festgelegten Uhrzeit
• An einem von Ihnen festgelegten Wochentag zu einer bestimmten Uhrzeit

Außerdem legen Sie fest, ob die Updates nur automatisch gesucht oder auch gleich heruntergeladen werden sollen.
