I have Eclipse for Java Developers installed, and I installed the Java EE JDK to start working on Java EE.
How can I upgrade my Eclipse For Java Developers to Eclipse For Java EE Developers?
There might be some way using the update stuff, but I would just download the right version of Eclipse for what you want and start with that. It's easy and fast.

I have installed Netbeans Java SE to work on sample application to integrate with Quickbooks.
But I'm wondering, is it enough? Or do I need to use Java EE version on my netbeans?
I want to implement with Eclipse a client server application in Java but I am confused with which Eclipse edition to use. Is Java EE Developers the solution?
Yes, Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers is the right choice. Go for the newest stable version Mars (4.5).
You can find it on the download pages for different operating systems and versions.
theoretically you can develop with any eclipse version which has EE bundles installed, but generally I would use Kepler

I'm trying to run webservice client on JDK 1.5 and it gives me many errors such as classnotfound exception, nosuchmethod... Is it possible to add some libs such as jax-ws, axis... and run it under JDK 1.5?
What's the best approach? I have NetBeans 6.9.1 on JDK 1.6, created project compatible for JDK 1.5. It works on my machine but on other with only 1.5 doesn't.
If you want to develop for JDK1.5, then download JDK1.5, and use it to develop your application. NetBeans allows using another JDK than the one it comes with.
You're shooting yourself in the foot by targetting JDK1.5 and developing on JDK1.6.
I want to use eclipse for a java coding and compiling for my home use. So, which version should i download as i don't have any of the previous versions or plugin installed on my system (i.e. Win 7 ultimate, x64)?
The short answer
Get Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers for Windows x64.
The long answer
You may download Eclipse from the http://eclipse.org website.
The last stable version of Eclipse is 3.7.1, codename Indigo. The next should be relased in June 2012.
You may compare what is inside the various offered package in the following page:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/compare.php
There are two main packages for Java, if you need it just to learn the language (or if you know you don't need Java EE), the smaller could do, but if you wish to do Java EE development, you need to larger.

I use Eclipse 64x and Java 64x.

In this web http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/, choose "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" or "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers".

Please help me decide which version I should choose? I would like to upgrade my Eclipse setup from whatever version it is now to a version that supports all the above. Should I go for Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers?
Should I download a totally new version from Eclipse site or can I just ADD necessary features/plugins to my current Eclipse setup.
Please suggest.

The Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers allows to do what you're asking for out of the box.
Should I download a totally new version from Eclipse site or can I just ADD necessary features/plugins to my current Eclipse setup.
Both would work, although it would be simpler to just get directly the Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers (especially if you don't know exactly what plugin(s) you're looking for). Personally, I don't use the version you can get from the repository but download Eclipse from the official website and install it in user mode.
If you are using Eclipse for only Enterprise Development, then as everybody has recommended I would use the Eclipse Java EE version. If you plan on occasionally using it for other development purposes then I would consider downloading a separate classic version as well.
The reason for this is that everybody is well aware of eclipse's plugin capabilities. Unfortunately, Eclipse can get bogged down with too many plugins or add on tools. What I have experienced is that if you are using it for Enterprise Development(J2EE) it might be a good idea to keep that as a separate environment then your other Java Development. That way you can download the plugins,tools,libraries,etc for your enterprise development, and you can use your classic version for any other development you might need.
The downside is you will have two versions, but this is not a problem granted you do not run them simultaneously.
If you want to play with Web development, then the Eclipse java EE for Developers is for you. It is shipped with components to make Java Enterprise applications to create Enterprise Applications (and bundle it in an Enterprise ARchiver, known as EAR file or Web ARchive, known as WAR file).
The default Eclipse shipping with Ubuntu is the Classic version, and you can add more plugins.
I would recommend, however, to download th eJEE version manually and unzip it and run. Then you have a local installation outside the system files.
