• Once the directory structure appears in the window, click the URL at the top to download everything. Then hit Next >
• Select your desired project options. For most people, the default options should be fine. When finished, click Next >.
• Select your desired workspace options, then click Finish. The latest ESAPI source files will then be downloaded to your workspace. This may take a few minutes.

Project Setup

Some configuration may be necessary for ESAPI to compile and build on your system.

ESAPI requires the Java SDK 1.4. Please be sure this is downloaded and installed.

• Once Java 1.4 is installed, open the Navigator view in Eclipse. If this is currently hidden, from the toolbar click Window -> Show View -> Navigator.
• Right-click on the ESAPI project root folder in the Navigator view and select Properties.
• From the left column, select Java Build Path. Under the Libraries tab, be sure the JRE listed is version 1.4. If it is not, remove the current JRE and click Add Library and select an alternate JRE. If you are having trouble figuring out what version the current JRE is, select Installed JREs and look at the location to which each version is mapped.
• From the left column, select Java Compiler. Be sure Compiler compliance level, Generated .class files compatibility, and Source compatibility are all set to 1.4
• Close the properties window.
• Right-click the ESAPI project root folder and select Refresh.
• From the toolbar, select Project -> Clean.. and select the ESAPI project. Click OK.
• ESAPI should now be compiled.
