Just curious -- is Eclipse free? -- and is it based on Windows or UNIX?

Cheers!

Just curious -- is Eclipse free? -- and is it based on Windows or UNIX?

Murach's book "Java Programming 4th Edition" is what our crew is using. Murach's lessons are geared toward NetBeans, but are usable on Eclipse with a little more hassle. Most of us installed both IDEs. Some of us already have multiple versions of WAMP or LAMP installed.

Eclipse and NetBeans are both free downloads for both Windows and Mac, as is the JDK 1.7 (Java Development Kit), and Apache Derby 10.8 or later for a web server. MySql is used for the database parts of the book, and is also a free download.

The book lists for $52.50, but is about $40 on Amazon.
