Developing EmpInfo on Windows using the Eclipse IDE
NOTE:
This section describes the steps to develop EmpInfo using the Eclipse Integrated Development
Environment (IDE). It is not mandatory to use the Eclipse IDE; you can choose any IDE that
supports Java.
The Eclipse version used in this example is 3.3.1.1. The sample screen shots provided in this
section are based on Eclipse IDE version 3.3.1.1. If you are using a different version of Eclipse,
the screen shots may look different.
Before developing your Spring application, you must select the workspace you want to use. To

1. Open the Eclipse IDE by double-clicking the eclipse.exe file in <Eclipse IDE
Installation directory>.
The Workspace Launcher dialog box appears.
NOTE: The workspace is set to your existing workspace, if it has already been created.
Figure 5-1 shows the Workspace Launcher dialog box.
