eclipse has a file .eclipseproduct in its root folder which contains its version.
When you open the file it will look likes

name=Eclipse Platform
id=org.eclipse.platform
version=3.7.0

Helios releases were 3.6.X (there is a list of the matchup between version names and numbers on the wikipedia page).

Though if there isn't any specific reason for using a release that old you may wish to update. Helios won't be supported much longer.
