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.
Eclipse IDE for Java Developers for Windows x64
Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers for Windows x64
I use Eclipse 64x and Java 64x.
-> http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
-> http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
In this web http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/, choose "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" or "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers".
Regards!.

I want to create a Java 9 project with Netbeans but netbeans IDE 8.2 is not working with "Java 9.0.4". Menu buttons doesn't response anything.
When I make some search Can't create project on Netbeans 8.2
Uninstalling jdk 9.0.4 offered as solution. Is there any way to create a Java 9 project with Netbeans?
NetBeans 8.2 does not support Java 9, but there is a beta version of NetBeans 9 available for download:
https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/incubator/netbeans/incubating-netbeans-java/incubating-9.0-beta/incubating-netbeans-java-9.0-beta-bin.zip
The download is a zip file which runs on all platforms. It supports all Java releases including JDK 9, and JDK 10. It is to be formally released later this month.
You can view and report bugs here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/NETBEANS/issues/NETBEANS-330?filter=allopenissues
Also note that you can run NetBeans 8.2 and NetBeans 9 beta concurrently.
See here for more information: https://netbeans.apache.org/
Another approach is to run the nightly dev build of NetBeans (http://bits.netbeans.org/download/trunk/nightly/latest/) which supports JDK 9 but not JDK 10. Hoever, this is a release from Oracle which is currently in the process of handing over NetBeans to Apache, and I doubt if there is much support if you have problems.
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 need to JSP functions on Eclipse for JAVA (not an Eclipse for Java EE Developers Edition).
Since I already installed Eclipse for pure JAVA, I need to install some plugins for
JSP pages.
Go to the Help menu and choose Install New Software. Look for and install the Eclipse Java Web Developers Tools.
Eclipse marketplace is good.You will get all kinda supporting plugins there.

Ok here is the question. I don't want to have two eclipses, I just want to have one for c/c++ and Java EE. In the packages comparison link at eclipse.org is a list with the features per package. As can be seen there I think that if I have the "JAVA EE" I just need to add "EGit", "Linux Tools" and "CDT" in order to have both complete packages.
But I ask, is this that transparent? Just add those and that's it?
If this is true, how can I do that? Just add those three to the Java EE I already have? I mean what would be the procedure to achieve this integration?
Yes, that's it. Btw you don't need EGit properly speaking. EGit is for Eclipse integration with Git repositories and has nothing to do with Java and/or C++.
IMHO I strongly suggest you having one Eclipse for Java and another one for C++. This way you can install relevant plugins for each one and not oversaturate Eclipse with plugins, which consume a lot of memory.
I use Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers, Version: Neon.3 Release (4.6.3RC2) on Ubuntu. Here are the steps I installed C++ plugins:
Help > Eclipse Marketplaces..
Find: C++, press Enter
Scroll down to locate Eclipse C/C++ IDE CDT 9.2 (Neon.2)
Click Install
Note: you may see different C/C++ IDE CDT version if you have a different version of Eclipse Java EE IDE
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.
