Eclipse is an open source community of tools, projects and collaborative working groups. One of the most widely used tools from Eclipse, is the Eclipse IDE (Integrated Development Environment). Eclipse IDE is a software that allows you to write your programs and test scripts in multiple programming languages (with Java being the most popular one).
Since we are using Java as our main programming language for all our Selenium and Appium Tutorials, hence we will mostly use Eclipse IDE to write all our test scripts. This article will provide you with a step by step guide on how you can download and setup Eclipse IDE for Java.

Need older version of Eclipse?
Sometimes it might happen that you start using the latest version of Eclipse IDE, and you feel that Eclipse is bit slow to use. There are good chances of this happening if you are using older computers or laptops. In such cases, you might want to use older versions of the Eclipse, so that its not too heavy on your machine. There are not many differences with older versions especially when you want to use it only for automation scripting purpose.
You can find older versions of Eclipse on this link – https://wiki.eclipse.org/Older_Versions_Of_Eclipse. I have myself used Eclipse versions that are 2 years older and have not found any issues with them. Just open the link of Eclipse version you want to use. The process of downloading & setup of Eclipse is the same that we have mentioned in this article.
Download Eclipse For Java Programming
I've been wondering how am I supposed to get Eclipse Java EE IDE for web developer.
I installed Neon Eclipse a month ago to do my core Java course and I'm starting on my Servlets and JSPs: Creating Web Application.
But I am unsure on how in doing it. My current neon eclipse only enable me to choose this option as shown below.
Based on my online tutorial courses, I need to get this information when creating a file from eclipse. But my neon eclipse doesn't have the option that allows me to.
Do I need to download a new eclipse specially for Java EE IDE web developer? If yes, which should I be downloading? E.g luma or etc etc. Will it overwrite my current eclipse program that I have on my computer for my core Java? I am afraid that my current eclipse program will get affected.
Thanks in advance. Sorry, I'm new and unfamiliar with the software and how in doing it.

Eclipse IDE is extensible or modular. If you didn't get the Java EE version initially, you can simply install into your existing IDE the support for Java EE. To do so, go to Help > Install Software... , on the installation dialog, show the Neon repository and find ymthe various extensions related to Java EE and Web development. Select them and click install. Upon restart, you'll get the Java EE support there.
