Which version did I install? [message #1828981]

I'd like to install Eclipse on a Windows 10 PC in the same configuration as I have installed on a different Windows 10 PC. When I run the Eclipse Installer, it gives me a list of configurations to choose from (the first one is Eclipse IDE for Java Developers). How can I determine which option I chose originally so I can get the same one?

Thanks!

Look at Help -> About Eclipse IDE. This will tell which product and version thereof that you have installed.

Ed,
Thanks for your response. It doesn't tell me which option I selected with the installer.
Here's what I see:
Version: 2020-06 (4.16)
Build id: I20200604-0540

Additionally, there are about 100 modules installed when I look at Installation Details, but none tells which option I installed (that I can see).

There's also the name of that product as the first thing in that dialog which is the name of the product. The "Version: "tells you the version.

For more technical (exact) details, you can also use Navigate -> Open Setup -> Installation. A reference to the Oomph Product Version that you selected will appear here in the tree view. E.g., "Latest (2020-09) (Eclipse.org - Eclipse IDE for Eclipse Committers)".

You can export the configuration from the reference Eclipse:
File -> Export -> Install -> Installed Software Items to File

It creates a .p2f file which should be copied to the target machine.

In the target machine, install a bare-bones Eclipse (e.g. for Java), open it and import the .p2f:
File -> Import -> Install -> Installed Software Items from File.

Before the operation, please check that the reference Eclipse is up to date, and it is a good idea to let the export wizard check that the modules do exists in repositories.
