Eclipse Force.com IDE

642    Asked by dipesh_9001 in Salesforce , Asked on May 2, 2021

I have a new pc and a lot of ongoing work in Eclipse with Force.com IDE. I need to install the same environment on my new pc but you don't seem to be able to get the Force.com IDE for eclipse anymore. Is there a way to acquire this add on? Do not have time to learn a new dev environment as I have many project currently underway with deadlines that must be met

As stated in the documentation:

After October 12, 2019, support, updates, documentation, and downloads for the Force.com IDE will no longer be available.

The only way you can hope to even get a copy of it would be to copy the installed files from your current computer to the new one, and this may or may not work.

VS Code with DX is actually very easy to pick up, even if you've never used it before. The Command Palette (Ctrl-Shift-P) can find the commands you want by typing, context menus are easy to use, and the tools are well-documented. You'll want to take the time to learn this new tool; we've known the Force.com IDE installation was going to be desupported for years now.
