Hi,
you have changed the Eclipse Installer recently. Now i do not know how to install Eclipse Oxygen anymore. Previously Eclipse had an option (in the Eclipse Installler) where we could choose version (for instance Oxygen). There are problems with the newer versions of Eclipse - related to our application. We cannot use them yet. I have not found any sources on how to do this properly. Can somebody help me (urgent)?
I only need to install Oxygen (64 bits on windows).
After a time-consuming search on the Eclipse pages i finally found Oxygen directories an files (zip) but now instruction on how to launch/install/start it.
Any help is welcome.
Best wishes
anders

Actually - as a follow -up question , if do not mind -
HOW do I tell my current version of Oxygen WHICH Java version it is using?
I know I can query for Java proper, but have no idea what Oxygen is actually using.
It seems very odd that Eclipse , Oxygen in particular , needs such "ancient" version of Java.
For that first part, in the About dialog hit the Installation Details button. The Configuration tab of that dialog then contains the Java system properties for what's being used to run Eclipse (and a lot more). You'll need to scroll down a page or two.
For the second, it's tied to the changes in Oracle's support policies: https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/java-se-support-roadmap.html . 8 only seems ancient because 9 and 10 were only current for 6 months each (and are already out of support in favor of 11, which will be around longer).
