how to practice with ABAP Development Tools on Eclipse

Hello All,

I was checking all through SCN if I could get some way out to practice with ADT - the tool and the new features of programming with ABAP.

But could only see the CAL and AWS way where I need to pay for the hosting charges.

As far as I remember there was a Trial Developer Edition of AS ABAP 7.03 which was compatible to run with ADT, but could not find that standalone download of the AS ABAP on SCN.

So my question in short is :

Is there any way to practice with the ABAP on Eclipse for free ie. by having some standalone AS ABAP installed on local system ?

Thanks in advance,

Rahul
