Eclipse Classic 3.7.2 version number confusion [message #826313]

I downloaded Eclipse Classic 3.7.2 for Linux 64 bit, and I went to check the version number of the Eclipse after opening it up by going to Help->About Eclipse Platform. It's saying the Eclipse Platform Version number is 3.6.1.

Is this right or am I looking at the wrong information? I'm looking at the tar file I downloaded and it says eclipse-SDK-3.7.2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz and I checked the link and it's for 3.7.2.

I ran the Check For Updates and it said no updates could be found so I guess I do have the latest version?

Are you running it with "./eclipse" or just "eclipse"? The latter would
run what's on your path, which traditionally does not include the
current directory, so you may be running an older installed copy from
your distribution.

Yes that was the problem. I thought I was running the one in the folder since eclipse worked but didn't realize RHEL already comes with eclipse installed. Thanks a bunch, the version numbers match up now.
