51<p>You may already have obtained a complete IDE bundled with AMP and other modeling tools. The project contributors offer open source and commercial versions of the AMP tools, which you can find at their sites. If so, you can mostly ignore this chapter unless you want to install an optional component like Repast.</p>

62<p>You can find more detailed instructions

67<li class="listitem">
68<p>Install the latest version of Eclipse from
69 <a class="ulink" href="http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/" target="_new">here</a>. AMP requires version 3.5.x (Gallieo) or higher. Version 3.6 (Hellos) which is currently a development (beta) release works well too. We recommend the "Classic" release at the bottom of the page as the other releases have a bunch of stuff you wont' need.
70 </p>
71</li>
72<li class="listitem">
73<p>Add update sites for AMP and AMP dependencies. See the screenshot below and the
74 <a class="ulink" href="http://help.eclipse.org/galileo/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/tasks/tasks-124.htm" target="_new">Eclipse Documentation</a>. There are different versions of the update sites, depending on whether you want to use the most stable version of the toolset or the "latest and greatest". The update sites are listed below.

77<li class="listitem">

107<p>In the following screenshot, we've added the LWJGL site (not shown) as well as the Ascape site (not shown), but not the Repast site, and we're about to install the respective features. </p>

138<p>For licensing and copyright reasons we can't provide all of the Ascape tools and manual on the Eclipse hosted Agent Modeling Project site. None of these tools are necessary to use AMP (the core Ascape support is an IP approved part of the AMP distribution) but they're highly recommended. The Ascape tools include:</p>
139<div class="orderedlist">
140<ol class="orderedlist" type="1">
141<li class="listitem">
142<p>An excellent Manual covering programming Java models in Ascape and Escape. (The API is the same.)</p>

144<li class="listitem">
145<p>Support for creating Ascape Java projects and executing the Swing-based Java Applications. Swing deployed Ascape Java Applications can be as small as 10MB and can be deployed to the web.</p>

148<p>Eclipse based IDE support for plain Java Ascape projects.</p>
