Installation

1. Download and install the latest 64 bit OpenJDK. If you are using Eclipse version 4.7.3 or older, you have to download this portable 64 bit version of Java instead.
2. Put the folder "CommonFiles" in the directory where the folder "Eclipse Portable" is located.
   The folder structure should look like this now:
   
   Or like this, if you're not using OpenJDK:
   

I won't give any support for files outside the "Final Versions" folder, so please don't use them!

To download the latest version, just press the big green download button on the main project page or use this link.

Troubleshooting

Can't install additional software packages

1. Right-click on your EclipsePortable folder.
