Abstract
Eclipse is an open-source development environment that is very popular with professional Java developers. This paper discusses the use of Eclipse in a data structures course. Students strongly liked using Eclipse in the classroom, and talked about it with their peers outside of the class. They also indicated slight agreement with statements that using Eclipse resulted in increased learning and that it made the course more interesting.
