Running the Eclipse Installer by Oomph for Eclipse Modeling Tools results in Oomph offering to install Java 1.8+ VM in C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-12.0.1 (Current) as the default install folder. This makes sense.
It also offers to install Eclipse in C:\Users\[username]\eclipse\modeling-2019-062 as the default install folder. This makes less sense. Why is Eclipse not installed in C:\Program Files as most software is? I'm running W10 V1803 .
Thanks!

I didn't like to delete them in the first place, frankly, but I thought that all things considered it was the safest way to go. Now that I know how Eclipse works, I'll avoid that in the future.
Re cleanup, I tried the IDE method that you identified, and it worked great. Apparently I have nothing to clean up, which is super. But re the Oomph installer, your post reminded me of something. In an instructional doc from some university that uses Eclipse (read after the new install unfortunately), it said that when installing Eclipse using Oomph if the Oomph hamburger shows a dot that dot indicates that the installer needs updating. I did not do this. Will this cause a problem? If so, how should I correct it?
