Re: [eclipse-dev] Eclipse IDE vs. Eclipse SDK

Hi Dani, Lars, Mickail,

The download page https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages points to the 2019-06 aka 4.12 version. This is the version which used the term „Eclipse IDE“.

However the _new_ build 2019-09-M3 uses the term „Eclipse SDK“ for all ui elements that I know (even the main window’s caption and the about box).

Well, I don't want to make a mountain out of a molehill. Perhaps someone played with the resource strings ;) For me it was a déjà vu because the caption of the 1st version of Eclipse titled Eclipse (Project) SDK...

No harm meant!
-Bernhard
