So the newest Forge (996) has a fixed installer.
So all you have to do is run 2 commands: first run

gradlew setupDecompWorkspace

then run

gradlew eclipse

command. Then just point your eclipse workspace to the eclipse folder inside the Forge folder.

(remove the w from gradlew if you all ready have gradle installed).

With Forge 996 I followed until the point where the new workspace folder was created. Eclipse just didn't want this. But using the original supported eclipse folder just worked instantly. And it compiled the example mod and ran a mc instance without problems. Perhaps reading to the end of t the topic and following SoccerStud's clue would have come to the same result.

Now I might be able to compile my mods for running in the eclipse ide.

And then? Searching for the reobfuscate and recompile commands in the new forge folder results to nothing. MCP is not there. Or, it is not there in a way I was used to. How would I install MCP in a way that it cooperates with the new source directory?
I'd really like to release "Working Sponges" for 1.7.x.

Or is "waiting" the answer? Waiting for a Forge version which will have a "install.bat" like the older versions. A fire and forget, sorrow-free one-hit-wonder like in the old days, quite right for a noob like me.

Ive been trying to get Forge installed for a while now, and every time I try it shows up with the following error:

Error: Invalid or corrupt jarfile C:\Users\My Name\Downloads\forge-1.7.2-10.12.0.998-installer-win.exe

I have Windows 8, and have been considering down grading because I don't like it, so if thats the issue then I will get it taken care of.

I tried the one that just says "Installer" and got this error:

Error: Invalid or corrupt jarfile C:\Users\My Name\Downloads\forge-1.7.2-10.12.0.998-installer.jar

If it isnt "Installer" or "Installer-win" then what am I supposed to use to download it?

If you know nothing about modding, you should not be here.

Actually, I'd recommend running:

gradlew setupDecompWorkspace

And THEN:

gradlew eclipse

The reason for that is because if you just do the second one, you won't be able to access the source code for the Minecraft and Forge core files. The first one downloads EVERYTHING you need, the second one simply sets up your workspace.

Thanks didn't know that's what that command did.

In the eclipse marketplace, there are only 2 options. Minimalist Gradle Editor, and Gradle Integration for Eclipse. Which do I use?

Could you add new images? The current ones are broken

The Gradle IDE won't install eclipse says it does not exist on the servers.

Its been like that from when forge started the gradle setup.

Where do I put this folder you asked me to make for my mod? I would geuss in the forge file but it could be anywhere I do not KNOW.
