Eclipse Version

Question

How do you check the current version of eclipse that I am currently running? Is it possible to tell if it is aqua or carbon (I am running Mac OS X 10.5)?

Answer 1

In case anyone has installed one of the 'bundled' versions of Eclipse (e.g. bundled with EE development tools as below) and is still looking, the steps below will show the 'bundled' version and the platform version (and other component versions also):

First select 'About Eclipse' from the Eclipse menu:

then select 'Installation details from the box below'

Next click on the triangle against 'Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers' below to expand it:

And now you should be able to read the version numbers, as below:

By now of course you may be wondering if everything else in the IDE is this obscure...
