But I see in the jdt site that current stable build is 4.2.1

http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno &&
The Eclipse Project Updates (http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.2)do not offer any updates && Help > Check for Updates reports nothing

I am confused

not need to worry, Eclipse SDK 4.2.1 contains JDT 3.8.1, so what you see is correct and it is the latest stable build.

Which site are you referring to?

Thanks for the prompt reply !

I went (among other places) to http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project.php?id=eclipse.jdt and clicked downloads and got to http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/ where it said "Latest Release 4.2.1 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 -- 18:00 (-0400)"

Also in the tracker when reporting a bug (in the JDT) one sees 4.2.1 highlighted - that's what got me worried initially - I checked my JDT version and saw 3.8.1 and that got me in doubts

Actually there should be a page somewhere detailing the packages version for core eclipse - or is there ?

EDIT : another site considered is for instance http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Project_Update_Sites where from I got http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.2 which did not update anything though
