I have had Eclipse Kepler version which did not support Tomcat 8. I have tried doing what this post said - How to use Tomcat 8 in Eclipse?. But I could not get the Tomcat v8. Finally I also followed this post - Running tomcat with eclipse kepler but after doing what this guy said, my eclipse no longer opens!

I would like to install a completely new Eclipse version that supports Web Development tools and has support for Tomcat 8 by default. Which one should I go for? I know there is a Eclipse IDE for Java Developers and Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers. I should choose the latter i guess, but which version should I install? Luna, Kepler, Indigo, etc.?? Please correct me if I'm wrong but these are the names given to different version that came at different times right?

    @owlstead I'm sorry but my question is a little different. I have also mentioned that the answer to the post did NOT help me when I had eclipse Kepler. I also wanted to make sure that I download the correct version this time. – Anurag Aug 03 '14 at 18:54
  • But I just installed Eclipse Luna 4.4. Isn't that the latest? And isn't it the only version with support for Tomcat 8? – Anurag Aug 03 '14 at 19:08
  • Ah, the list on Wiki didn't list the last one, I'm going fine, aint I? I'll upvote to make it better. But in that case, always test against the latest release! – Maarten Bodewes Aug 03 '14 at 19:15

You can use Eclipse Luna 4.4. It offers the following features:

  1. Java EE 7 Support
  2. Java SE 8 Support
  3. Apache Tomcat 8 Support (The one you desire)
  4. Split Editors

I think you should go for Juno. I am using it these days with tomcat and having no problem. I do not exactly whether it support Tomcat 8 or not as Tomcat 8 is still under development and just few releases has been made.

You can download Juno from: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/juno/sr2
