Hi, <br />
<br />
I'm starting to learn Java having developed in .NET for a couple of years. I'm wondering which is the 'standard' Eclipse distribution, since there seems to be a lot of versions. I'm not that up with the Java lingo and so don't really know if I want 'beans' or 'ee' etc.<br />
<br />
Download page: <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/" rel="ugc">http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/</a><br />
<br />
I just want to use it to build web apps, desktop programs, maybe muck about with a couple of mobile sdks.

Which is the 'Standard' Eclipse IDE Distribution

Development in most programming languages is frequently done with an editor or integrated development environment (IDE). An IDE is a software application that provide comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. An IDE normally consists of a source code editor, build automation tools and a debugger. XCode, Visual Studio, Adobe Dreamweaver and Eclipse are some of the more popular development tools, but an editor or IDE can be anything from simple text editors to sophisticated programs.

Editors IDEs

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
