Eclipse IDE Names and Versions Through Helios

AshokIndustry Trends, Technical Tips2 Comments

Sometimes I am asked about Eclipse versions or see people reference only the name online, assuming their readers know the history/future. Here is a quick cheat sheet on Eclipse IDE versions with names as of today going back to Callisto in June 2006:

  • (Planned) Juno (Version 3.8 and 4.2) – June 2012
  • Indigo (Version 3.7) – June 2011
  • Helios (Version 3.6) – June 2010
  • Galileo (Version 3.5) – June 2009
  • Ganymede (Version 3.4) – June 2008
  • Europa (Version 3.3) – June 2007
  • Callisto (Version 3.2) – June 2006
