I just installed the latest Eclipse from the official download page. I chose Eclipse IDE for Java Developers. Now, I'd like to install Pydev, which kindly asks me to use at least version 3.6.1. I promptly go to Help->About in Eclipse, and fail to see any version number which resembles 3.6.1. Instead, I'm getting this:
Version: Helios Service Release 1
Build id: 20100917-0705
(c) Copyright Eclipse contributors and others 2000, 2010. All rights reserved.
Visit http://eclipse.org/
So, how do I find out which actual version number I am running?
To check with what Java version (JRE or JDK) Eclipse is running, do the following: Open the menu item Help > About Eclipse . (On the Mac, it's in the Eclipse-menu, not the Help-menu) Click on Installation Details .
Eclipse 4.23 (2022-03) It is the supported release. A Java 11 or newer JRE/JDK is required, LTS release are preferred to run all Eclipse 2022-03 packages based on Eclipse 4.23, with certain packages choosing to provide one by default.
Click on Help -> About Eclipse, then click on the Eclipse icon for details.

You most likely have 3.6.1 already, but what might be the problem is that you have an earlier build number.
