 If you have an older version of Eclipse, it is quite easy to try the latest version without removing your old version. Simply install the new version in a different directory than the existing Eclipse version and use the same Eclipse workspace. All of your projects and preferences are saved in the workpace and will be available to the new Eclipse version. If for some reason you need to go back to your old Eclipse version, just close the new version and start the old one.

+Normally the first task we need to do is to create an Eclipse project from a remote Git repository (usually on Github). The repository might be a fork we have created for our own use or it might be a Joomla project (CMS or Platform) or someone else's project. In any case, we follow the same three steps:
-[[File:git-eclipse-screenshot-03.png|frame|none]]
+# Clone the remote repository into a local Git repository.
-[[File:git-eclipse-screenshot-04.png|frame|none]]
+# Create a new PHP project in our Eclipse workspace.
-[[File:git-eclipse-screenshot-03a.png|frame|none]]
+# Share the project. This associates the Eclipse project with the local Git repository.

+Note that there are different ways to accomplish this. Here are detailed instructions for one way to do this.

+==Clone the Remote Repository==
-[[File:git-eclipse-screenshot-07.png|frame|none]]
+One easy to way to clone a remote repository is using the Git Repositories view in Eclipse. Here are the steps:
