    Eclipse install for SAP ABAP development, support,

    and innovation - 2024 edition


    Prepared by Ryan Fleischmann

    Installation of Eclipse for SAP Development also requires installation of Java - so instructions on
    Java install are also provided as a prerequisite.

    Highly recommend you have admin rights to your PC during the install - specifically for installing
    and configuring the JDK (Java Developer Kit) on your machine. Downloading and extracting a
    zip file often works better in cases where running an installer is not possible

    Recommended versions
    Java: JDK version 11 (JDK version 11 was previously not supported by SAP, you may need
    update from version 8 to version 11)

    Eclipse: Refer to https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/ for selecting best Eclipse install for SAP
    install. As of December 2023, here are the supported plugins for each

    As of December 2023, 2023-06 is the best install - but depending on project requirements you
    could need to install other older or newer versions of Eclipse. Multiple Eclipse installs are
    supported, but separate install location and workspaces should be assigned to each install. This
    is best accomplished using a ZIP extract of the Eclipse installation.
    JDK and Eclipse compatibility
    Ensure your JDK and Eclipse match in terms of 32 and 64 bit
    If you install 32 bit JDK, install 32 bit Eclipse
    If you install 64 bit JDK, install 64 bit Eclipse
    32 bit JDK won’t work with 64 bit Eclipse
    64 bit JDK might work with 32 bit Eclipse, but may have issues
    I recommend the 64 bit install as that allows for a broader variety of apps to be installed on your
    machine. But, you may do just fine with 32 bit versions.

    Download and install JDK

    Oracle
    https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/#java11-windows

    For 64 bit install - select

    Run the .exe

    Sometimes your client may have licensing issues with Oracle - so you can otherwise also
    download and install a JDK 11 from an alternative provider

    Amazon Corretto
    https://docs.aws.amazon.com/corretto/latest/corretto-21-ug/downloads-list.html

    OpenJDK
    https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/install-openjdk-free-java-multi-os-guide/

    Go to the control panel advanced system settings

    Add environment variables for JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME

    These will refer to the directories where you installed the JDK and JRE respectively.

    Likely will be under C:\Program Files\Java


    Validate installed Java version
    If you have Java/JDK already installed, you may wish to simply check the version of the JDK
    installed you can do this by typing java -version in the command line

    Download and install Eclipse


    **** Make sure the bit version (64 bit or 32 bit) matches the JDK you just installed ****
    **** This is really important. Eclipse won’t work if you get this wrong ****

    ALSO VERY IMPORTANT!!


    Eclipse may not really work that well without the JDK installed. A Java runtime (JRE) may be
    sufficient. You really need Java installed for Eclipse.

    Your desired Eclipse install should be listed here


    https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/

    You may need to look for a section titled “More downloads” to locate the download.

    Once downloaded, create a new directory under your user folder named eclipse. Extract the zip
    file of the Eclipse install download to this directory.

    Test install
    Go to the directory where you installed Eclipse and open Eclipse.exe

    If install is successful - you’ll see a dialog like this prompting you to select a workspace. Use the
    same workspace every time for your Eclipse installation.
    If this is your 2nd or more Eclipse install, make sure you create a new folder for the Eclipse
    workspace. Multiple eclipse installations should not share workspaces.

    Add SAP Development tools


    Once Eclipse is open, go to Help>Install New Software

    Add new entry according to your selected version of eclipse


    ● https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/2023-12 or https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/latest
    ● https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/2023-09
    ● https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/2023-06
    ● https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/oxygen

    Once added - select the plugins you need and click next

    Click finish to proceed with the install


    The installation is not done yet!

    Watch the progress percentage in the bottom right hand corner

    Do not close Eclipse before this completes. That can mess up your whole Eclipse install in a
    way you have to do everything all over again.

    Might a good time to grab some coffee - but do check for popups.

    Once installed, Eclipse will need to restart.


    ON PREMISE Connectivity
    Connect Eclipse to SAP ABAP System on-premise
    Pre-req: Must have SAP Logon pad installed with connection configured. The ADT ICF
    service must also be active

    Validate SAP-Eclipse ABAP connectivity


    File > New > ABAP Project

    You will see the same connection that were configured in the logon pad. Select your system and
    login.

    Report any authorization errors to your security team. Typically you’ll need to request
    authorization to the ADT ICF service. This is part of the standard SAP developer role and your
    security contact can find and add it quite easily.
    However, assuming you are successful - you’ll now be able to navigate the system library from
    the package level. These are the same packages you would see in SE80.
    STEAMPUNK (ABAP on BTP)
    Connectivity

    After installing the aforementioned plugins - the following is needed in BTP

    Pre requisite: setup ABAP steampunk. This is done rather easily using the ABAP Trial booster!

    Once you successfully complete the steps in the booster you should see your ABAP trial
    instance available

    Download the service key either by selecting the credentials key under the instance. You can
    always generate a new key from the 3 dots.
    Download the key
    Back in Eclipse Select New > ABAP Cloud Project

    Upload the service key


    You’ll log on one more time and then you’re in! For ABAP trial - you’ll need to develop packages
    under ZLOCAL project

    Congratulations! Your Eclipse installation is now integrated with your SAP ABAP
    Systems :)
