This page gives an overview of how to use another IDE than the built-in Robot Editor that comes with [[Robocode]].

Are you tired of Robocode's built-in editor? (You should be!) It may be time for you to start using Eclipse, a real IDE (Integrated Development Environment).

If a more recent stable version exists than the one mentioned here, you should of course [http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ download] that version instead. '''NOTE: [[Robocode/System Requirements|Java is required]] for running Eclipse'''.
