How to install Eclipse IDE on Fedora 16 “Verne” and CentOS 6 / RHEL 6

Eclipse is one of the most widely used IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for the Java application development. Integrated Development Environment or IDE provides many features such as authoring, modifying, compiling, deploying and debugging software. The aim is to abstract the configuration necessary to piece together command line utilities in a cohesive unit, which theoretically reduces the time to learn a language, and increases developer productivity. It is also thought that the tight integration of development tasks can further increase productivity. For example, code can be parsed while being written, providing instant feedback on syntax errors.

As already you know Fedora 16  is the most robust operating for desktop users, so this post will help a beginner java programmer in getting started on Fedora with Eclipse IDE.
