installEclipse.ps1
#Replace with archive name
$EclipseArchive = "eclipse-java-2023-12-R-win32-x86_64.zip"
$DestinationFolder = "C:\Program Files\Eclipse IDE"
try {
if (-not (Test-Path -Path $DestinationFolder)) {
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path $DestinationFolder
}
Expand-Archive -Path $EclipseArchive -DestinationPath $DestinationFolder -Force
Copy-Item -Path "uninstallEclipse.ps1" "$env:ProgramFiles\Eclipse IDE\eclipse\uninstallEclipse.ps1"
#Create start menu and desktop shortcuts
$EclipsePath = "$env:ProgramFiles\Eclipse IDE\eclipse\eclipse.exe"
$StartMenuShortcutPath = "$env:ALLUSERSPROFILE\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Eclipse IDE.lnk"
$PublicDesktopShortcutPath = "$env:Public\Desktop\Eclipse IDE.lnk"
$WScriptShell = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell
# Check if shortcuts already exist, delete and recreate them
if (Test-Path -Path $StartMenuShortcutPath) {
Remove-Item -Path $StartMenuShortcutPath -Force
}
$StartMenuShortcut = $WScriptShell.CreateShortcut($StartMenuShortcutPath)
$StartMenuShortCut.TargetPath = $EclipsePath
$StartMenuShortCut.Save()
if (Test-Path -Path $PublicDesktopShortcutPath) {
Remove-Item -Path $PublicDesktopShortcutPath -Force
}
$PublicDesktopShortcut = $WScriptShell.CreateShortcut($PublicDesktopShortcutPath)
$PublicDesktopShortcut.TargetPath = $EclipsePath
$PublicDesktopShortcut.Save()
} catch {
Write-Output "Error: $_"
}
