CHAPTER 1 Force.com IDE Retired

The Force.com IDE is no longer available. Switch to using the Salesforce Extensions to Visual Studio Code.
After October 12, 2019, support, updates, documentation, and downloads for the Force.com IDE will no
longer be available. We recommend migrating to Salesforce Extensions for Visual Studio Code or one
of the great tools made by our partners. For more information, see The Future of Salesforce IDEs on the
Salesforce Developers Blog.
