If you have created functions in the Catalyst remote console, you must download them to your local machine before you can access them in your editor. If you created functions on your local machine, you can skip to step 3.

To access Catalyst Java functions in your Eclipse editor:

1. Download your function's code from the remote console by executing the following Catalyst CLI command:

    `$ catalyst pull`

    You can refer to the [Pull Resources help page](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cli/v1/pull-resources/introduction/) for a detailed explanation.

    This will automatically create a functions directory in your project home containing your functions.

2. Open your Eclipse editor. Navigate to **File** and then **Open Projects From File System**.

3. Click **Directory** next to *Input Source* in the pop-up.

4. Select the functions folder that was created using the CLI and click **OK**.

5. Ensure that *Add project* to *working sets* is unchecked.

6. Eclipse auto detects the Java functions in that folder. Select the functions you need from the list.

7. Click **Finish**.

Your Catalyst functions are now accessible in Eclipse.
