Eclipse with various Java releases

Hello,
In asking my question about the Java EE 5,6,7, documentation; another question came up.
The Eclipse Mars was suggested, yet I had installed Neon2 because that was what I was using before.  I see that Neon 3 is released.
Last night I installed Neon 3 and the documentation options did not come up at all, like in Neon2.
The question that I now have is; with, let's say Neon3,  which now I have installed Neon2 and Neon3.  And I have downloaded Jdk 1.8.111/121, and Goldfish4/java_ee_sdk-7u2-web.  If I wanted to use Jdk 1.8.121 with Neon2 and Goldfish4 with Neon3; how would I configure the "Environmental System Variable "Path?"  
Is it that Eclipse has a setting that I could set up which Java version to use?
I apologize that I have not gone to check whether Eclipse Neon has such a setting.
Thank you for your answer.

I see that Eclipse Neon2/Preferances/Java/BuildPath\ClassPath Variables, has a section "define classpath variables," yet I do not see that they can be edited.

Shouldn't need to do all that. Eclipse should find your installed JDKs and list them as available to be used for building

Within Eclipse Preferences I also found the "Installed JREs," which can be edited to point to another location.
How is the jdk handled?

I apologize for the wait.  I actually forgot I had this question open.
