Which Eclipse IDE version to choose?

Tags:

eclipse

How do I find which Eclipse version I have on my Ubuntu system?

This is what "About Eclipse SDK" says.

Eclipse SDK

Version: 3.5.2

Build id: M20100211-1343

I am not sure if its the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers or the Eclipse Classic version.

What I would like to do is use Eclipse for

Java based Web Application Development

Ant Builds

Deploy using Tomcat

including HTML, CSS Editing

Please help me decide which version I should choose? I would like to upgrade my Eclipse setup from whatever version it is now to a version that supports all the above. Should I go for Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers?

Should I download a totally new version from Eclipse site or can I just ADD necessary features/plugins to my current Eclipse setup.

Please suggest.

What is the most stable version of Eclipse?

The current stable release of Eclipse is Eclipse Neon. 3 (4.6. 3).

Does Eclipse version matter?

it doesn't actually matter that much - if you need the other features/plugins you can always add them later.

Which Eclipse package is best for Java?

You can go ahead with Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers. Once it is installed you can go to Help->Install New Software and can install all other plugins as per your requirements.

Which Eclipse version is best for Java 11?

Java 11 is only required to run Eclipse, but of course you can still write Java 8 or even lower code with Eclipse 2020-09. In Eclipse you can even have multiple JDKs installed and use different JDKs from different Java versions in projects.

The Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers allows to do what you're asking for out of the box.

Should I download a totally new version from Eclipse site or can I just ADD necessary features/plugins to my current Eclipse setup.

Both would work, although it would be simpler to just get directly the Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers (especially if you don't know exactly what plugin(s) you're looking for). Personally, I don't use the version you can get from the repository but download Eclipse from the official website and install it in user mode.
