This question is double, but no one asked it recently.
I want to use Eclipse for developing in Android and making webapps.
I used Indigo, but I see a lot of downloads on this page: http://eclipse.org/downloads/
Since my computer got stolen and I need to reïnstall everything, I thought, good time to ask.
Can anybody tell me which version is better to download and install?
And anybody any tips on the needed plugins?
Indigo is fine.
However, it might be in your best interest to download and install Juno. Juno's UI is slightly different than Indigo's, but it is the newest version of Eclipse (Juno is 4.x, whereas Indigo is 3.x).

I am looking to build a website in GWT top replace a couple of desktop apps we have here at work, I programmed in java 12 years ago so the code should not be a problem.
I am having problems with installation GET and Eclipse.
I seem that when you use the latest version of Eclipse (Juno 4.2) and try to use the GWt Plug in the installer process fail looking for very specific versions of libaries.
My question is "Is there a recommended version of eclipse and GWT that is not on the cutting edge and I can get to work with relative ease"
I hope this will help you for using GWT in Eclipse
Use this. Get the newest Eclipse "Juno" and choose the standard java version.
Now you need to use the proper link for the plug in. For Juno it is 4.2. If the guide in the link doesn't work, check your firewall.
Found the problem I used the standard and java versions of eclipse.. if you using the J2EE version everything runs as normal
I've installed eclipse on my new ubuntu 12.04 setup. I did the install through the software center. I went to create a Java project, but it looks like it doesn't have java development kit on it. I'm not sure why. I have never seen this after installing Eclipse. Any ideas why I wouldn't have any language support? It's basically just a bulky text editor at this point.
Default Eclipse in Ubuntu Software Center generally needs installation of extra packages, had the same problem many times. I strongly recommend downloading and installing from here.
You can download the java sdk and development tools right in eclipse which should fix your problem, I had the same problem before and that's how I solved it.

Getting started with PHP in Eclipse IDE
Doe's anyone know a tool / IDE / plugin in Eclipse for PHP development?
I already try the ZEND PDT but it seems that it has a bug and it doesn't install in my eclipse. I even follow this workaround in installing it but it still doesn't work.
My Eclipse verions is 4.1.2, OS is in Windows XP SP3.
The previous questions doesn't seems to have a solid answer. Please help. Thanks in advance.
Another very good IDE to devolpe in PHP is NetBeans:

I know you specifically asked for an Eclipse plugin, but let me take the liberty of recommending a non-Eclipse PHP IDE, because it's really good and deserves a mention here: PhpStorm from JetBrains.
If you're very keen on Eclipse, Aptana Studio is a good IDE based on the Eclipse code base.
Pardon a possibly dumb question, but why are you using Eclipse 4.1.2? I suspect that the problem is with a bug in the 3.x compatibility layer in that version.
Unless you have a real need to be using 4.1.2 (and since it was a beta, I'm not sure what that would be...), perhaps try again with 3.7.2, which is the version currently listed on the Eclipse download page[1].
Hope that helps!

Now that the new version of eclipse is out should I move to immediately? If my plug-ins work in Galileo will it work in the indigo?
There is no way to know without trying or researching what the particular plugin providers state regarding Indigo compatibility. Many plugins will work just fine. Some will not.
I would recommend starting a separate Indigo install along side your working Galileo install. Then install your plugins into the new install one by one. If everything installs and appears to be working, you can safely transition. If it doesn't, you will know which plugins are incompatible. Maybe a newer version exists or is on the way.
I am planning not to switch before SR2 is available. In the past new Eclipse versions had some minor bugs and I don't see the big advantage of Indigo for my daily work.
It is a risk worth taking. First, create a copy of your eclipse installation and upgrade and see if your plugins are working fine.
If those are working it's good to go Indigo.
All the best with Indigo.
I have already installed Eclipse for Java development. I'd also like to install Plugins for PHP, CSS/HTML and Javascript, but all the sites that I've checked only offer a 'All in one' package, so I could either download an all-in-one Java package or an all-in-one PHP package, but not both at the same time.
How do I set up my existing installation to also support PHP files?
I use PHPEclipse which can be installed as a regular Eclipse software update
The PDT can also be installed as an update.
For HTML/CSS etc, the WTP can be installed in a similar fashion.
If you already have Eclipse installed, follow the instructions at PDT Installation to install the PDT (PHP Development Tools). This will include the Web Tools Project (WTP), which brings editors and tools for HTML and CSS.
This issue made me nuts 2. First i downloaded the PDT eclipse, which would not take google plugins or apache ant. Then I downloaded the Eclipse SDK to use java ant GWT and could not load php onto it.
If you ask me, this program sucks. I like the idea, however the updates hardly ever work, and it does not support multiple coding languages like it says it does. Also the web site is shocking as it gives you 100 options to download.
Coulnt the have just made the one platform and then provided links to the plugins ???
Correct me if i am wrong guys, but trying to get PHP and Java working in eclipse is torture. Ive been stuck for 3 days now, installing and uinstalling.
One final rant, the download speeds of the eclipse servers are below 10kb, and take about half a day to install one update.
My prob is, I have to use it as the project i am working was archived with Eclipse.
Did you follow the steps presented on this installation page? There is a From update site section in which they describe how to install it from the Software Updates menu.
I had this problem recently.
I started with the J2EE Ganymede setup and added the PDT tools (via Update) afterwards.
Then I added Subclipse afterwards.
G.
(I wish they wouldn't change the eclipse pages all the time...)
Look for "runtime" on the downloads page for PDT (http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/downloads/)
Why do you want JDT and PDT in one installation? I usually set up different installations for different things. It just so easy, since you don't really need to install anything. I have two setups for PDT and at least 5 for JDT.
Install Aptana Studio plugin. In my experience it is much better then either PHPEclipse or PDT. However, YMMV.
