What is Eclipse 4

1. Eclipse 4

1.1. What is Eclipse 4?

The Eclipse platform and IDE is released every year. Before 2012 Eclipse was released in version 3.x, e.g. Eclipse 3.6, Eclipse 3.7. These releases and the corresponding API are referred to as Eclipse 3.x.
As of 2012 the main Eclipse release carried the major version number 4, e.g. Eclipse 4.2 in the year 2012 and Eclipse 4.3 in 2013. These releases and the corresponding API are referred to as Eclipse 4.
The Eclipse 4 platform is based on a flexible and extendible programming model. Eclipse 4 was an opportunity to rationalize the best parts of the Eclipse 3.x APIs and to fix pain points of Eclipse 3.x development.
