Claudecode Eclipse Ide

Claude Code for Eclipse IDE (Unofficial)

****Unofficial community port** — This is an independent Eclipse IDE adaptation of the [Claude Code VS Code extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Anthropic.claude-code). It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or maintained by Anthropic.**

An Eclipse IDE plugin that integrates [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) — Anthropic's AI-powered CLI — directly into your Eclipse development environment.

Installation

1. Open Eclipse and go to Help → Install New Software
2. Click Add and enter:
   • Name: Claude Code
   • URL: https://eilonwy06.github.io/claudecode-eclipse-ide/com.anthropic.claudecode.eclipse.site/
3. Select the Claude Code for Eclipse IDE feature and follow the install prompts
4. Restart Eclipse when prompted

Prerequisites

• Eclipse IDE (tested with Eclipse 2023-12+)
• Java 21 or later
• Claude Code CLI installed and available on your PATH
• A valid Anthropic API key
• Windows: x86_64
• Linux: x86_64 and aarch64 (ARM64)
• macOS: aarch64 (Apple Silicon) and x86_64 (Intel)

Required Eclipse Terminal bundles

The **Claude Terminal** view embeds the Eclipse Terminal, so these bundles must be present (version **1.1.0 or newer**, within the `1.x` range):

• org.eclipse.terminal.control
• org.eclipse.terminal.connector.process
• org.eclipse.terminal.connector.local

…plus their transitive dependencies (notably CDT's native PTY support, `org.eclipse.cdt.core.native`), which p2 resolves automatically.

These bundles ship with most Eclipse packages (Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers, for Committers, for Enterprise Java Developers, and the full SDK), and the plugin's feature declares them, so p2 normally pulls them in during installation. If you're on the minimal **Eclipse IDE for Java Developers** and installation reports them as missing, install them first via **Help → Install New Software** from the main Eclipse release
