+## Eclipse SmartHome Designer
+
+The Eclipse SmartHome Designer is a specialized version of the [Eclipse](http://www.eclipse.org) IDE for openHAB.
+Just like known from other IDEs, the Designer allows to browse and edit the configuration files of your openHAB setup, with the advantage of syntax highlighting, syntax checking and autocompletion.
+
+### Network Preparations
+
+If your openHAB instance is set up on a different device or a dedicated system, the Designer can be installed and executed on your personal PC or Mac.
+The Designer needs to be able to access the configuration files on the remote openHAB host.
+
+You have to have a [network share](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_resource) set up on the remote host and mounted on your local device.
+Steps needed to so are specific to the hosts operation system.
+How to setup and use Samba on a Linux system is described in the [Linux article](linux.html#network-sharing).
+If you are using [openHABian](openhabian.html), the needed set of network shares is already configured for you, you just need to mount them locally.
+
+*Attention Windows users:* Directly accessing network shares (UNC paths) is not supported. Please be sure to mount the network share to a drive letter prior to using the SmartHome Designer.
+
+### Setup
+
+- Get the latest version from: [Eclipse SmartHome Designer Downloads](https://github.com/eclipse/smarthome/blob/master/docs/documentation/community/downloads.md#designer-builds)
+  (*Note:* the "Snapshot" build is currently not recommended for daily use)
+
+The downloaded `.zip` archive contains the Designer executable.
+
+- **Windows**: Extract the archive to a path of your choosing, e.g. `C:\designer`
+- **Linux**: Extract the archive to a path of your choosing, e.g. `/opt/designer`
+- **Max OSX**: Extract the archive to your applications folder
+
+### First Launch
+
+After launching the Designer executable you will see an empty configuration file pane on the top left.
+
+  ![SmartHome Designer standard view](images/smarthome-designer-10.png)
+
+Click on the "Select a configuration folder" icon at the top right of the configuration window and navigate to your openHAB configuration folder (containing `items`, `rules`, ...).
+
+  ![SmartHome Designer configuration folder selection](images/smarthome-designer-15.png)
+
+The configuration pane should now list the different configuration folders:
+
+  ![SmartHome Designer standard view with loaded configuration](images/smarthome-designer-20.png)
+
+### Usage
+
+You can now start to create and modify your configuration files.
+Changes are automatically loaded by the openHAB runtime.
+More details about the syntax of the different configuration files can be found in the [Configuration]({{base}}/configuration/index.html) chapter.
