Answer 1

Eclipse (software)维基百科上的页面总结得很好:

Releases

Since 2006, the Eclipse Foundation has coordinated an annual Simultaneous Release. Each release includes the Eclipse Platform as well as a number of other Eclipse projects. Until the Galileo release, releases were named after the moons of the solar system.

So far, each Simultaneous Release has occurred at the end of June.

Release         Main Release   Platform version      ProjectsPhoton          27 June 2018     4.8Oxygen          28 June 2017     4.7                 Neon            22 June 2016     4.6                 Mars            24 June 2015     4.5                 Mars ProjectsLuna            25 June 2014     4.4                 Luna ProjectsKepler          26 June 2013     4.3                 Kepler ProjectsJuno            27 June 2012     4.2                 Juno ProjectsIndigo          22 June 2011     3.7                 Indigo projectsHelios          23 June 2010     3.6                 Helios projectsGalileo         24 June 2009     3.5                 Galileo projectsGanymede        25 June 2008     3.4                 Ganymede projectsEuropa          29 June 2007     3.3                 Europa projectsCallisto        30 June 2006     3.2                 Callisto projectsEclipse 3.1     28 June 2005     3.1  Eclipse 3.0     28 June 2004     3.0  

总而言之，Helios、Galileo、Ganymede 等只是 Eclipse 平台版本的代号(就我个人而言，我更喜欢 Eclipse 使用传统的版本号而不是代号，这会让事情变得更清晰、更容易)。我的建议是使用最新版本，即 Eclipse Oxygen (4.7)(在这个答案的原始版本中，它说“Helios (3.6.1)”)。

在“平台”之上，Eclipse 分发各种 Packages (即具有一组默认插件来实现专门任务的“平台”)，例如适用于 Java 开发人员的 Eclipse IDE、适用于 Java EE 开发人员的 Eclipse IDE、面向 C/C++ 开发人员的 Eclipse IDE 等(有关其内容的比较，请参阅 this link)。

为了开发 Java 桌面应用程序，Helios 版本 Eclipse IDE for Java Developers应该足够了(如果需要，您可以随时安装“其他插件”)。
