Pre-Requisites for setting up Automation Framework using selenium RC + test NG + Eclipse

It's very necessary to have compatible FF version + Selenium IDE support + Selenium RC

Step 1) Install FF ( I am on FF 3.5 )

Step 2) Install selenium IDE (FF plugin)
Note: You need to have the FF installed and then install the compatible selenium ide
FF 3.5 works fine with selenium ide 1.0.8
Download Selenium ide 1.0.8 from : http://release.seleniumhq.org/selenium-ide/

Step 3) Install JRE
Note:For the server to run you’ll need Java installed and the PATH environment variable correctly configured to run it from the console. You can check that you have Java correctly installed by running the following on a console:
java -version
If you get a version number (which needs to be 1.5 or later), you’re ready to start using Selenium RC.

Step 4) Install Eclipse [eclipse-SDK-3.6.2-win32]

Step 5) Download selenium RC (selenium-remote-control-1.0-dist) from http://release.seleniumhq.org/selenium-remote-control/
Note: You need to Add External jars - "selenium-server.jar" and "selenium-java-client-driver.jar" to your project.
