I see there are two main distributions of Eclipse going on - One is on 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 path and the other is 4.0, 4.1 path(http://www.eclipse.org/e4/).
I don't have clarity on what is the difference between these two distributions?
Eclipse is a free open-source integrated development environment that allows users to create Java-based applications.
How about we use the year it comes out to version it. So this year, Neon would be Eclipse IDE 2016, Oxygen becomes Eclipse IDE 2017 and so on. The added benefit to users is that it becomes immediately obvious how old previous versions are.
3.7 (code name Indigo
) and 3.8 are bug fixes and stability releases whereas 4.0,4.1,4.2 (code name Juno
) are new feature set mature platform releases. Release 3.8 and 4.2 are going on simultaneously. You can find more on the eclipse project plans here. Juno specific plans can be found here.
