Which version of eclipse should i download?


I'd like to learn struts2 with eclipse. Which version of eclipse should i download?

My background is as a c# developer, so i don't really know much at all about java but i'm keen to learn.

I'm looking on the eclipse site http://eclipse.org/downloads/ and i think what i want is one of these, but i'm not sure:

I've done a bit of searching around, and most tutorials seem to assume you've already got everything installed. I'm starting with nothing here.


Solution

  • Struts is a web framework built on top of JSP/Servlet API. Get Eclipse for Java EE. It ships with all plugins needed for web development, under each the great WTP and several default appserver plugins. The normal Eclipse version lacks this.

    When starting a project, first integrate the appserver in your Eclipse environment through the Servers view (obviously you need to download and install the appserver in question in your platform first, then it's just a matter of pointing its installation path, I can recommend using Apache Tomcat). Then create a Dynamic Web Project, pick the integrated appserver from the list and go ahead! :)
