eclipse and easy eclipse interface differentiation, for casual java programmers

what is the difference between 开发者_运维知识库the easy eclipse interface and regular eclipse? any other specifics that i should consider when picking between the 2?

It depends when you consider the versions of Eclipse you want to use.

Easy Eclipse is just a pre-packaged Eclipse with some plugins.
But it is at most in Eclipse3.4.

That means, compared to Eclipse3.5 (Galileo) or 3.6 (Helios), the differences are actually in the "New and Noteworthy" sections of those two more recent distros.

• Eclipse 3.5 New and Noteworthy
• Eclipse 3.6 New and Noteworthy
