What Eclipse should I download if I program in java? [duplicate]

Question

On the Eclipse site, there are several Eclipse downloads, which one I should pick?

This - Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers

This - Eclipse Classic 3.7.2

Or this - Eclipse IDE for Java Developers

Now I'm programming regular Java applications, 2d graphics (awt, graphics2d, etc..) and in the future JSP.

Answer 1

For general Java programming the Eclipse Classic would be appropriate.

If you want to do web development, then I suggest the Java EE variant, which is suitable for JSP (it also contains everything the Classic variant does).

Answer 2

Pick "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" for now. It does everything except JSPs. When you reach the stage where you want to work on JSPs - you can just do an upgrade your Eclipse and add the EE features.

Answer 3

Any of the packages will do the "regular java programs" and the "2d" stuff. "3d" stuff will require extra libraries which can be added to any of the offerings; but, "jsp" stuff will be much easier to develop with the Java EE offerings.
