<b>Installing the examples</b></h1>
<h3>
Installing examples via the Update Manager</h3>
<p>
The Eclipse SDK examples are found on the Eclipse project update site at <a href="http://update.eclipse.org/updates">http://update.eclipse.org/updates</a>.
To locate and install them into a product:</p>
<ol>
<li>Open the main update manager by clicking <b>Help &gt; Software Updates &gt;
Update Manager</b>. This opens the Install/Update perspective.</li>
<li> In the Feature Updates view, select <b>New
&gt; Site Bookmark</b> from the context menu. In the New Site Bookmark dialog that opens, give the site
the name
&quot;Eclipse.org&quot; and URL
&quot;http://update.eclipse.org/updates&quot;.</li>
<li>Expand the
&quot;Eclipse.org&quot; item and select the feature named &quot;Eclipse SDK
Examples&quot; (or &quot;Eclipse SDK Examples (Windows)&quot; if you're on
Windows). Click the <b>Install</b> button
within the Preview view.</li>
<li>The Feature Install wizard confirms the details of the feature you are
about to install. Click <b>Next</b>.</li>
<li> Select the directory into which the example feature is to be installed and hit <b>Next</b>.</li>
<li> <p>Click <b>Install</b> to allow the downloading and installing
to proceed.</p></li>
<li> Click <b>Yes</b> when asked to exit and restart the workbench for the
changes to take effect. The examples are now installed in the workbench.</li>
</ol>
<h3>
Installing examples manually</h3>
To install the examples without the Update Manager, download the appropriate Eclipse SDK Example zip file from the
Eclipse project web site at <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/downloads">http://www.eclipse.org/downloads</a>.
<p>
The workbench should not be running while the examples are being&nbsp;
installed.&nbsp; Extract the contents of the zip file to the root directory&nbsp;
of your Eclipse installation.&nbsp;</p>
<p> For example, if you installed the Eclipse
Project SDK on <b> d:\eclipse-sdk\</b> then extract the contents of the examples
zip file to <b>d:\eclipse-sdk\</b> (the
subdirectories named <b>eclipse</b> should line up).</p>
<p>Start the workbench.&nbsp;The workbench will report that updates have been
detected; accept them. The examples are now installed in the workbench.</p>
<p>You can verify that examples have been installed by looking for <b>File &gt;
New &gt; Example...</b> in the workbench menu bar.</p>
