Hi All,

Haven't been here for a while and now I am utterly confused. I am mainly
doing java development, so should I use the classic package or the Java IDE?
Also, there used to be a project called WTP (web tool project or something
like that), but I somehow cannot find it from eclipse.org anymore. Does
anyone know where I can find it? thanks.

Jim,

you can find an overview of the package content on the 'Find out more...'
pages that are linked on the download page.

If you are doing Java development, the 'Eclipse IDE for Java Developers'
package is the best one to start with. It doesn't contain too much (e.g.
the Plug-in development environment).
If you use Eclipse for Java development, but also for creating HTML,
JSP, ... you should consider using the 'Java EE' package which contains
large parts of the webtools and the datatools projects.

But independent from your download decision: You can always use the Eclipse
update manager to install additional features from the Europa Update Site.

Thanks, Markus.

It sounds like the Java EE package is what I need. Aside from strict Java
dev, I also do a little bit of JSF, html, PHP stuff. I think I have found
the WTP finally - it wasn't that obvious to find.
