There are many tools for Java development. Due to habit, I still use myeclipse more. Myeclipse has many more plug-ins on the basis of eclipse. It is more convenient to use, but it consumes more resources and runs relatively slowly. If it is used, it should be optimized.
In actual development, I feel that eclipse may be used more. For example, every time there is a software problem, when you search the Internet, you will find that there are more eclipse-related solutions and related tutorials, so it is necessary to understand eclipse. of.
However, the version of eclipse is really scary. Every time I want to download it, I have no way to start, so I have a brief understanding of the version.
The following figure is the download list of eclipse official website:
(

)
in,
- ① is the series list of eclipse, which is continuously upgraded from ganymede to neon series; there are many different versions in each series;
- ② is a list of different versions of each series. Different versions provide different main functions and are suitable for the development of different scenarios, but the core things are all common. Refer to the following figure for the characteristics of the versions: (https://eclipse.org/ downloads/eclipse-packages/ )
- ③It is to choose the 32-bit or 64-bit version according to the computer environment. On this basis, pay attention to the installed JDK. When selecting the corresponding number of digits, choose the JDK that supports the eclipse version, or set the JDK to choose eclipse. The corresponding versions of JDK and eclipse are as follows:
| eclipse series | Minimum JDK version requirements |
| neon | 1.8 |
| Oxygen | 1.8 |
| mars | 1.7 |
| luna | 1.6 |
| juno | 1.5 |
| …… | …… |
The JDK version will be backward compatible, and the computer with JDK1.7 installed can run mars and the following lower versions of eclipse.
