This is about resetting the community, the processes, and the technology so that the Jakarta EE platform becomes what the next generation of developers want to use to build their applications,” said Mike Milinkovich, executive director of the Eclipse Foundation. “What this is about is not just bringing Java EE to the Eclipse Foundation. And the code base also is getting a new name: Jakarta EE. The platform’s latest features included a new API for JSON bindings, and support for server-sent events. In September of last year, Java EE 8 arrived at the same time as it was being donated to Eclipse. Last year Oracle donated the code behind Java EE to the Eclipse Foundation, as a show of good faith to the community which had been seemingly neglected for so long. Once the darling of enterprise application development, and the focal point of much of the innovation in the Java community, the framework and platform became stagnant, and emblematic of the technical debt it was designed to replace. The process of downloading & setup of Eclipse is the same that we have mentioned in this article.It’s been a long, strange road for Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE). Just open the link of Eclipse version you want to use.

I have myself used Eclipse versions that are 2 years older and have not found any issues with them. You can find older versions of Eclipse on this link –. There are not many differences with older versions especially when you want to use it only for automation scripting purpose. In such cases, you might want to use older versions of the Eclipse, so that its not too heavy on your machine. There are good chances of this happening if you are using older computers or laptops. Sometimes it might happen that you start using the latest version of the IDE, and you feel that Eclipse is bit slow to use.

If you have any feedback, then please share it with us using the comments section or our Facebook page. Try installing it and let us know if you face any issues with the download and setup process.

With this, we have completed the process of downloading and setup of Eclipse IDE.
