Difference between Eclipse Europa, Helios, Galileo

Question

What is the difference between versions of Eclipse (Europa, Helios, Galileo)? Which is the best for desktop application?

Answer 1

Those are just version designations (just like windows xp, vista or windows 7) which they are using to name their major releases, instead of using version numbers. so you'll want to use the newest eclipse version available, which is helios (or 3.6 which is the corresponding version number).
