AWS SDK for Java using Eclipse IDE

I am assuming that you have already installed Eclipse 4.4 (Luna) or a higher version on your machine as the AWS toolkit supports that.

There are two ways to install an AWS toolkit in your IDE:

Click on Help | Install New Software… and install
Click on Help | Eclipse Marketplace, search for AWS, and install

We will install using the first method. Now please perform the following steps and refer to the following screenshot:

Once you click on Install New Software, it will open the Available Software dialog box.
In this dialog box, you have to click on Add to add the AWS toolkit.
It will open the Add Repository dialog box.
In this dialog box, add the Name and Location as https://aws.amazon.com/eclipse
