Most people know Eclipse as an integrated development environment (IDE) for Java. Eclipse is created by an open source community and is used in several different areas, e.g. as IDE for Java or for Android or as a platform to develop Eclipse RCP applications, etc.. The usage of Eclipse as a Java development environment will be described in this tutorial.

Create a Java project “de.vogella.debug.first” with the package “de.vogella.debug.first” and the following classes.

<pre>package de.vogella.debug.first;

public class Counter {
	private int result=0;
	public int getResult() {
		return result;
	}

	public void count() {
		for (int i = 0; i &lt; 100; i++) {
			result += i +1;
		}
	}
}</pre>
<pre>package de.vogella.debug.first;

public class Main {

	/**
	 * @param args
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Counter counter = new Counter();
		counter.count();
		System.out.println("We have counted " + counter.getResult());
	}

}
