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

There is a system property eclipse.buildId (for example, for Eclipse Luna, I have 4.4.1.M20140925-0400 as a value there).

I'm not sure in which version of Eclipse did this property become available.

Also, dive right in and explore all the available system properties -- there is quite a bit of information available under eclipse.*, os.* osgi.* and org.osgi.* namespaces.
