It is specified at the beginning of the article: "To conduct this study, we used Eclipse Java EE Oxygen Release Milestone 2(4.7.0 M2) and IntelliJ IDEA 2018.2.4 (Ultimate Edition)".
That said, the comparison of an early milestone build of Eclipse Java EE package from two years ago, with a released version of IntelliJ Ultimate Edition from 2018, seems odd.

Oh, I would be *very* careful with that. I can backfire quickly. :)
The author didn't disclose what Eclipse package is used. It could be a very basic Eclipse package. He is comparing it with Intellij Ultimate edition. I'm not sure about the value of this a comparison.
The author is also not disclosing details of the project setup. For example, was it a vanilla JDT project or a Maven project with M2E? Was there any Webtool extension/nature associated with it? I would expect the memory profile to be very different just between the three I mentioned.
