Ghosts is available as beta version for Eclipse. In order to try Ghosts, you will need the standard Eclipse IDE for Java Developers version 3.7.1 or higher. We recommend:

Just download it, and copy the jar file to your dropins/ folder inside eclipse:


$ECLIPSE_DIR/dropins/


For a better experience with Ghosts, please follow these steps:

  1. 1.Activate the Ghosts perspective in Window>>Open perspective>>Other>>Ghosts

  2. 2.Disable the preference “Report problems as you type” (see example) in Preferences>>Java>>Editor>>Report problems as you type

  3. 3.If ghosts are not reified properly, close-&-reopen the project.


To uninstall Ghosts, just remove the jar file in the dropins/ folder and run (the first time you open Eclispe):
