I have seen a number of tutorials for using Red5 and Eclipse, and most of them tend to be unclear or do not work properly. So here are 2 very simple ways I have used with great success!
*Before you begin this tutorial make sure you have downloaded/installed the latest JDK, Red5, and Eclipse 3 or higher.
Using SVN
- In Eclipse Select Window->Open Perspective->Other
- Then I pick SVN Repository Exploring
- Next I right click in the SVN Repository pane and select New -> repository Location
- Type “http://svn1.cvsdude.com/osflash/red5/java/server/trunk”; in the URL field
- Click finish
- Right click on it when it shows up in the SVN Repository pane and select Checkout
- Then I select check out as project with all of the defaults.
Simple Import
- In Eclipse Select File>Import
- Under General choose Existing Project into workspace
- Browse to your downloaded red5 folder
- Select Project

Thats all there is to it! Please feel free to reply to this post with other ways of setting up Red5 and Eclipse.

Thanks, This helped a lot. I have gone through so many tutorials and they never work. The import took 2 seconds and I was up and running.

Nice, thanks!
I used the “simple import” and works fine..
But, I have a question.. How can I deploy my Red5 Apps using Eclipse ??
Thanks again

This Works for me as good as the other tutorials you’ve tried - maybe 64-bit windows xp is the problem cause nothing works
