Which Eclipse should I download? [message #1759647]

I have Neon.2 installed. I think I should upgrade to Neon.3. But when I go to do the download site it gives me some 15 options for what to install. Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers, etc. I don't recall what I downloaded last year but I assume if I download the wrong one I'll get different functionality and possibly lose some functionality that I already have.

How can I tell which Eclipse version I have installed now so that I can downlaod the same upgraded version?

Apparently I stored by previous eclipse 4.6.2 in a folder called neon_jee, so I'm guessing that's the right flavor.

Yes, and you can look in the eclipse.ini for the -product argument's value. And if anything feature is missing, or you want any additional feature that's not in the package (but perhaps in some other package), you can add with with Help -> Install New Software.
