ReqGuru is developed as an
Eclipse 3 plug-in, so a working Eclipse installation is
needed; version 1.5 (or greater) of JRE (Java Runtime Environment)
is
also required
(Java download page).
Installing Eclipse on Windows
To install Eclipse, download the latest stable version
from Eclipse download
page and unzip this file into a folder,
e.g. c:\Program Files. At this time, tha is
eclipse-SDK-3.2.2-win32.zip (121 MB download size).
This will create the folder c:\Program Files\eclipse.

Be sure to preserve Eclipse directory structure when extracting files
from the archive (please refer to the help of the tool used for
extraction).
There isn't a setup.exe file, installation of Eclipse is
completed just by unzipping the archive.
To start Eclipse run eclipse.exe in the root of Eclipse
installation (c:\Program Files\eclipse\eclipse.exe in the example above).
