I just installed the latest Eclipse from the official download page. I chose Eclipse IDE for Java Developers. Now, I'd like to install Pydev, which kindly asks me to use at least version 3.6.1. I promptly go to Help->About in Eclipse, and fail to see any version number which resembles 3.6.1. Instead, I'm getting this:
Version: Helios Service Release 1
Build id: 20100917-0705
(c) Copyright Eclipse contributors and others 2000, 2010. All rights reserved.
Visit http://eclipse.org/
So, how do I find out which actual version number I am running?
Click on Help -> About Eclipse, then click on the Eclipse icon for details.
See also this screenshot:
You most likely have 3.6.1 already, but what might be the problem is that you have an earlier build number.
Helios contains Eclipse 3.6. [Ref].
Helios SR1 contains Eclipse 3.6.1 [Ref]

Looking at the WSO2 Developer Studio Downloads website, the latest version of Eclipse they use is Eclipse JavaEE luna which was released in 2014.
http://wso2.com/products/developer-studio/
It seems rather out of date. However, I can't find any information on future plans for the next release date?
Anyone know any more about this?
The tooling is found for download here now:

Click on download tooling to obtain the tooling.
Currently the tooling is shipped with Eclipse Mars and not Eclipse Luna
I want to start using Java 8 with Eclipse but I don't know how to install it - I can't find any tutorials on it. I am using Eclipse Kepler and have added a JRE for JDK 8 to the IDE but it won't let me continue to create the project because of a compliance problem with the JRE versions. How can I use Java 8 with the Eclipse Kepler IDE?
Have a look at this bug report from time to time for progress on Java 8 in Eclipse's JDT.
EDIT: For Kepler you need SR2 (4.3.2) and the Java 8 feature patch. Starting with I20140318-0830 all Luna (4.4) builds contain support for Java 8 "out-of-the-box". The final version of Eclipse Luna (4.4) will be released at the end of June 2014.
Now, after Java 8 is released, there is a feature patch, but only for Kepler SR2 (4.3.2). Installation via
Help > Install New Software... > 'Work with': http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.3-P-builds/
see Tutorial Installing Java 8 on Eclipse Kepler
Early access builds of Eclipse with Java 8 support are available. Installation instruction can be found here.
Wayne Beaton (Director of Open Source Projects at the Eclipse Foundation) just published (February 2014) an article on "Building and Running Java 8 Support" (with Eclipse Luna 4.4Mx).
It includes:
Getting the sources of JDK8
Downloading the latest milestone of the Eclipse SDK (4.4Mx)
Configuring the “vm” option in the eclipse.ini file to use the Java 8 JRE included with the downloaded JDK.
Adding Egit
Clone the BETA_JAVA8 branch of the Git repo JDT Core, JDT UI and JDT Debug repos.
Using the handy “Import all projects” feature to automatically pull all the code into my workspace.
Setting various JRE 1.4, 5 and 6.
Putting the right mapping for those JRE in the execution environment.
For Eclipse Kepler 4.3+, leeor mentions in the comments:
As of Feb 21st, you can install the beta 8 JDT via "install new software..." in Eclipse (I use Kepler) here: JDT/Eclipse Java 8 Support (BETA)
http://build.eclipse.org/eclipse/builds/4P/siteDir/updates/4.3-P-builds
Java8 support for Eclipse Kepler SR2 has been removed from eclipse marketplace. You can access the archive here. Download the zipped repo and install it as a local archive update site.
URL : http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.3-P-builds/
Add it like the screenshot
I am assuming that you have installed Java 8, JRE 8 and configured them (setting class paths etc.).
Follow the steps.
Go to Help->Eclipse market place
In the search box type "java 8 kepler"
The first link that appears is Java 8 support for Kepler SR2
select it and install it.
It will take a few minutes.
You may need to restart Eclipse after completion.
The problem is that the version of Kepler your using might not have the support for Java8. You can either install the Java8 Patch from market place if your using SR2 version
or
You can directly download Eclipse Kepler SR2 from here, which comes with default support for Java8
Am trying to install Groovy/Grails Tool Suite (GGTS) for Eclipse into my Eclipse installation.
version of Eclipse installed:
Version: Luna Service Release 1a (4.4.1) - Windows 32-bit.
When I attempt to install ggts from the eclipse marketplace either by using the Eclipse Marketplace
menu option or by using the ggts drag to install button, the following window/error message is
obtained after selecting Confirm:
The following solutions are not available Groovy/Grails Tool Suite (GGTS) for Eclipse 3.6.4.RELEASE,
Proceed with the installation anyways?
How/can it be installed?
Thanks.
My bad. I forgot to put in the right (and versioned) update site into the Marketplace entry definition after the 3.7.0 release went out. This is fixed now. You should be able to install GGTS from the Marketplace again. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for pointing me at this here.
Keep in mind that there is no new GGTS version that is compatible with Eclipse Mars. The last version is 3.6.4 and is compatible with Eclipse 4.4 and previous versions.
I'm using Eclipse Juno and want to test my Java web app in JBoss AS 7. How do I configure Eclipse so that it starts JBoss AS 7 and deploys the war? Also remote debugging should work. It seems I can't use JBoss Tools as they are only released for the previous Eclipse versions (Indigo and Helios).
Any pointers?
It seems that the current stable releases of JBoss Tools supports Eclipse Indigo (3.7.2) and Helios (3.6.x) as detailed here :
Is there a Beta Update site for Juno ?
This page has the details of the update site for Juno :
Instructions will be posted after the first Juno-compatible milestone
is available.
Until then, just point your Eclipse 4.2 (Juno) installation at this
site to install the latest nightly build. Note that there is no
guarantee of quality with a nightly, nor do we guarantee it won't set
your computer on fire.
Update site : JBoss Tools - Core - Nightly Build Update Site
It bears repeating, that the above is unstable at the moment.
Stability of JBoss Tools Beta for Juno ?
From this page:
Since the first version of Eclipse Juno is arriving soon it is worth
mentioning that JBoss Tools from its updatesite can be installed on
top of Juno.
It is though not guaranteed everything works, we know that especially
Hibernate Dali/JPT integration have issues since here the API has
changed greatly.
But if you are a Juno early-adopter then do please try run JBoss Tools
on it and if you find issues let us know in the forum or on JIRA.
Also, this might be of interest :
Our latest Beta, soon coming CR1 runs on Eclipse Juno (3.8/4.2) except for the Eclipse Dali/JPA integration
I use Eclipse Juno and I installed Jboss Tool for helios version.
Works like a charm.
This stable version of JBoss Tools 4.0.0 works well with Eclipse 4.2 (Juno).

Add this URL 'JBoss Tools - Core - Stable Release Update Site ' to site URL's
(Help > Install New Software > Add )
Select the features to install, or click the Select All button.
Click Next, agree to the license terms, and install.
Note : You can also download JBoss Tools as individual zips for offline installation.
Refer :JBoss Tools 4.0.1.Final Stable Release
Please find the below steps to add JBoss Tools for Eclipse Juno
Go to Help -> Eclipse Marketplace
Type JBoss Tools in the Find text box
You can see the JBoss Tools (Juno) icon in the listed items with install button
Click on the install button
Restart your Eclipse to reflect.
How do you check the current version of eclipse that I am currently running? Is it possible to tell if it is aqua or carbon (I am running Mac OS X 10.5)?
My eclipse has a file .eclipseproduct in its' main folder which contains:
name=Eclipse Platform
id=org.eclipse.platform
version=3.4.0
Perhaps that might help?
Edit: Couldn't find any useful command-line switch for that task.
In case anyone has installed one of the 'bundled' versions of Eclipse (e.g. bundled with EE development tools as below) and is still looking, the steps below will show the 'bundled' version and the platform version (and other component versions also):
First select 'About Eclipse' from the Eclipse menu:
then select 'Installation details from the box below'
Next click on the triangle against 'Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers' below to expand it:
And now you should be able to read the version numbers, as below:
By now of course you may be wondering if everything else in the IDE is this obscure...
They don't make it very clear. They could do a better job of clarifying which release name and version number you're are working with.
Can't you just go Help -> About Eclipse
(source: uni-kassel.de)
(ignore the actually selected menu)
Eclipse Menu -> About Eclipse SDK
Some of you are right, the developer version it is not very clear.
Anyway, go to help and then About Eclipse a new window opens then go to Installation details and click on the installation window Installed Software tab you would see the version.
I too have struggled a lot to get version number of Eclipse. Also as discussed in other posts we can easily get the name but NOT the version number. I found a more simpler way to get the version number:
Each Eclipse installation directory in your system has a html readme file at eclipse/readme/readme_eclipse. Just open that and you will notice the first 2 lines of the html file has version details.

There is a system property eclipse.buildId (for example, for Eclipse Luna, I have 4.4.1.M20140925-0400 as a value there).
I'm not sure in which version of Eclipse did this property become available.
Also, dive right in and explore all the available system properties -- there is quite a bit of information available under eclipse.*, os.* osgi.* and org.osgi.* namespaces.
On my mac it took me a while, but it is actually easy.
