Downloading Eclipse [message #652463]

Obviously one may click on details to view more info about the download, yet that doesn't really help one understand my question...

What is the difference between the following downloads (and why would someone choose one over the others?)....

Eclipse Classic 3.6.1 (170MB)
Eclipse IDE for Java Developers (99 MB)
Eclipse IDE for Java Developers (101 MB)

Thank you in advance for your time in explaining this to me.

Best regards

Eclipse Classic contains Java and Eclipse plug-in development coverage
rolled into the package.

Eclipse Java is just Eclipse for developing to Java.

Eclipse JEE is Eclipse for Java enhanced for developing web applications
in Java using a number of popular technologies.

There are myriad other Eclipse pre-rolled packages, for C/C++, PHP, and
others.

Most of this is noted in the "details" link under each download.

You can more or less download any of these packages and fill it
post-install with other technology as you wish. (See menu Help ->
Install New Software).

Hope this helps.

Thank you. Now I understand. The bit about install more from the help menu was especially helpful.

Best Regards.
