Is there MDT UML2 Toold for Eclipse Indigo (3.7)? I'm a little confused, on this page Model Development Tools (MDT) it says that the release should be on June 22 (2010??), however there is no release listed later on that page.
Have a look into the sub-projects. Most MDT stuff is released with the standard release train. There is a release for Indigo and there will be one for Juno.
You can use Papurus or Topcased for Eclipse Indigo as an UML Modeler. The other Ecipse Modeling tool has been discontinued.

I'm recently migrated to jdk 11 from jdk8. So, i choose eclipse 2019-09 but TFS plug-in is not showing in eclipse market place. so, i tried installing it manually, but some options are not working like viewHistory, comparing based on change sets etc, will the TFS plug-in supports latest eclipse versions?
According to this link Team Explorer Everywhere TFS pluging supports:
Neon (4.6), Mars (4.5), Luna (4.4), Kepler (4.3), Juno (4.2, 3.8)
2019-09 is not in list. Users with eclipse (2019-03) also have problems.
The problem was solved in the GitHub repository on Jan 14, 2020. Please refer to issue 290 and/or commit b8d4e67529a3619d919e7c45f9cb6255ef2b9843.
There is no build yet (April 17, 2020), but it is quite easy to build it yourself. There are very good instructions in the readme of the GitHub repository.
I cloned the repository and used JDK 8 and Apache Ant 1.9.7 for compilation. I also tried a newer Eclipse version to build against, but that did not work for me. Downloading the given Eclipse 3.5.2 and EGit 2.1.0 made the job.
I have the uml-designer plugin in my eclipse neon with the version 7 of ther uml designer (there's no option to download a previous version), and my co-worker has the version 5.
Doesn't the version of uml designer that runs in eclipse neon also runs in the eclipse luna? Thanks in advance.
No, the UML Designer 7 version runs on Eclipse Neon. There is lots of bugfixes since the 5 version so, it is better to use the last version.
I'm a bit confused about Eclipse release 3.8
It seems a bit like a ghost to me: no codename, no download site?
Where are all the packages, like "Eclipse for RCP and RAP Developers"?
Eclipse 3.8 and 4.2 were released concurrently as part of the Juno release, but the compilations for various developer types are only available based on version 4.2.
To use Eclipse 3.8, you will need to download the basic platform and install the plugins you need from Eclipse Marketplace or the Juno repository.
Surf to here and download the one labeled Eclipse SDK:
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.8.2-201301310800/
Juno repository:
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno/
Official 'Eclipse Project 3.x' Stream Downloads page
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/eclipse3x.html
This has links to 3.8.1 release, and the 3.8 maintenance build.. If you want to link anywhere to 3.8, this is probably the best place.
Note that 3.8 is not a full 'packaged' release -- it's just the core. Features & plugins can be added from within the IDE, to replicate functionality of the Java EE/ PHP/ C++ etc packaged distributions.
3.8 is of particular interest to those (like myself) who are downgrading from 4.2 Juno due to the serious performance problems in that release. These seem to affect XML editors, PHP, switching, opening & closing editors -- turning the instant performance of previous Eclipse versions into endless 3-5 second waits.
Indigo 3.7 is the last 'packaged' release available. 3.8 may offer advantages in fixing several Indigo bugs & having Java 7 support.
A link to the recently released 3.8.2: http://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.8.2-201301310800/
None of the links in other answers seem to work anymore, but The Eclipse Project Updates Sites page at eclipse.org says it's http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.8 and that works for me and 3.8 has now been moved to the archives. I don't think updates are available anymore.
To install Java EE into the 3.8.1 download, this worked for me: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5028910/503025
Java EE is in the Juno upgrade site.
With the eclipse indigo release around the corner, I checked the download page. It does not seem to have a link to PDT. Does this mean there wont be a new PDT version anytime soon? Cant find anything in google.
Here you can find nice tutorial with screenshots how to
Installing PDT 3 on Eclipse 3.7 Indigo
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/3.0/milestones/
In short - put this url as update source http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/3.0/milestones/
"Eclipse for PHP Developers" package will not be released since EPP(Eclipse Packaging Project) removed it.
PDT 3.0 for Indigo itself will be released on time.
Due to lack of a package maintainer for the Indigo release there will be no PHP (PDT) package. If you would like to install PDT into your Eclipse installtion you can do so by using the Install New Software feature from the Help Menu and installing the PHP Development Tools (PDT) SDK Feature from the Eclipse Indigo Repo >> http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo

What is the difference between versions of Eclipse (Europa, Helios, Galileo)? Which is the best for desktop application?
The Eclipse (software) page on Wikipedia summarizes it pretty well:
Releases
Since 2006, the Eclipse Foundation has coordinated an annual Simultaneous Release. Each release includes the Eclipse Platform as well as a number of other Eclipse projects. Until the Galileo release, releases were named after the moons of the solar system.
So far, each Simultaneous Release has occurred at the end of June.
Release Main Release Platform version Projects
Photon 27 June 2018 4.8
Oxygen 28 June 2017 4.7
Neon 22 June 2016 4.6
Mars 24 June 2015 4.5 Mars Projects
Luna 25 June 2014 4.4 Luna Projects
Kepler 26 June 2013 4.3 Kepler Projects
Juno 27 June 2012 4.2 Juno Projects
Indigo 22 June 2011 3.7 Indigo projects
Helios 23 June 2010 3.6 Helios projects
Galileo 24 June 2009 3.5 Galileo projects
Ganymede 25 June 2008 3.4 Ganymede projects
Europa 29 June 2007 3.3 Europa projects
Callisto 30 June 2006 3.2 Callisto projects
Eclipse 3.1 28 June 2005 3.1
Eclipse 3.0 28 June 2004 3.0
To summarize, Helios, Galileo, Ganymede, etc are just code names for versions of the Eclipse platform (personally, I'd prefer Eclipse to use traditional version numbers instead of code names, it would make things clearer and easier). My suggestion would be to use the latest version, i.e. Eclipse Oxygen (4.7) (in the original version of this answer, it said "Helios (3.6.1)").
On top of the "platform", Eclipse then distributes various Packages (i.e. the "platform" with a default set of plugins to achieve specialized tasks), such as Eclipse IDE for Java Developers, Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers, Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers, etc (see this link for a comparison of their content).
To develop Java Desktop applications, the Helios release of Eclipse IDE for Java Developers should suffice (you can always install "additional plugins" if required).
Those are just version designations (just like windows xp, vista or windows 7) which they are using to name their major releases, instead of using version numbers. so you'll want to use the newest eclipse version available, which is helios (or 3.6 which is the corresponding version number).
To see a list of the Eclipse release name and it's corresponding version number go to this website.

Eclipse 3.0 21 June 2004 3.0
I too dislike the way that the Eclipse foundation DOES NOT use the version number for their downloads or on the Help -> About Eclipse dialog. They do display the version on the download webpage, but the actual file name is something like:
eclipse-java-indigo-SR1-linux-gtk.tar.gz
eclipse-java-helios-linux-gtk.tar.gz
But over time, you forget what release name goes with what version number.
I would much prefer a file naming convention like:
eclipse-3.7.1-java-indigo-SR1-linux-gtk.tar.gz
eclipse-3.6-java-helios-linux-gtk.tar.gz
This way you get BOTH from the file name and it is sortable in a directory listing. Fortunately, they mostly choose names are alphabetically after the previous one (except for 3.4-Ganymede vs the newer 3.5-Galileo).
Each version has some improvements in certain technologies. For users the biggest difference is whether or not to execute certain plugins, because some were made only for a particular version of Eclipse.
In Galileo and Helios Provisioning Platform were introduced, and non-update-site plugins now should be placed in "dropins" subfolder ("eclipse/dropins/plugin_name/features", "eclipse/dropins/plugin_name/plugins") instead of Eclipse's folder ("eclipse/features" and "eclipse/plugins").
Also for programming needs the best Eclipse is the latest Eclipse. It has too many bugs for now, and all the Eclipse team is now doing is fixing the bugs. There are very few interface enhancements since Europa. IMHO.
They are successive, improved versions of the same product. Anyone noticed how the names of the last three and the next release are in alphabetical order (Galileo, Helios, Indigo, Juno)? This is probably how they will go in the future, in the same way that Ubuntu release codenames increase alphabetically (note Indigo is not a moon of Jupiter!).
The Eclipse releases are named after the moons of Jupiter, and each denotes a successive release.
Helios is the current release you can download eclipse as your programming needs http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
