What is the difference between the eclipse packages and the SDK? [message #335986] Tue, 12 May 2009 20:24 Go to next message

can download the SDK and some additional files.

Does the SDK contains all additional packages (rcp, jee and so on) or do I
need a seperate package for each purpose?

Ok, I found out, that the SDK is "only" the classic-package.
But what other packages do I need for a nearly complete eclipse (rcp, jee,
.... + sources)?

There is no such thing as a "nearly complete eclipse" - there are thousands
of third-party plugins available. The whole point of Eclipse is that it is
modular and ever-changing.

Even within the small subset of Eclipse that is available on eclipse.org, it
covers many different styles and needs.

So you'll need to be a bit more specific about your "..."! But you can
start with any of the packages and then add more features as you want with
the update manager.

From the buzzwords you do mention, it sounds like you want to start with the
"Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers" package, and then you'll probably need
to add some RCP components.

That's right - primarily I want to develop RCP-applications but also want
the WTP-plugins (e.g. for html-, xml-editing).
Do you know what are the differences between RCP SDK and Platform SDK?
--> For RCP-development I need some eclipse-sources (e.g. jface, swt, ...)
Does the Platform-SDK contain the RCP-SDK or do I need both?

If I know I'm going to do any kind of plug-in or RCP development, I
always grab the package for Plug-in/RCP developers, then add whatever
else I need. In past versions, it was difficult to find and install the
various source plug-ins that are essential for plug-in development, so
that is why I start with that package. I think now it is easier to get
them post-installation, but that is my habit ;-)
So I'd get the Plug-in/RCP package and then install the web tools
(including JEE) features that you need.

Hope this helps,
Eric
