Picking the Right Eclipse Distribution

Posted by kdawson on from the dark-side-of-the-moon dept.

Someone over at IBM Developerworks who prefers anonymity writes "Depending on what you want to do, there is probably a commercial or free distro built on the Eclipse platform waiting for you. From C/C++, Ruby, PHP, Groovy, Java, and Web development, you can use an IDE built on Eclipse to help you. The big question is: Which Eclipse distribution is right for you?"

  1. Whichever one doesn't require Java by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Oh, I know! Whichever one doesn't require an additional 100MB download to use on top of the nearly 200MB Eclipse download, and the one that isn't ridiculously slow because it uses Java.

    Oh, wait, that's none of them?

    Guess I'll stick with Visual Studio or KDevelop, depending on environment.
