I refer to this link: http://blog.sudobits.com/2011/10/02/how-to-install-eclipse-ide-on-ubuntu-11-10/
I installed eclipse using this command: sudo apt-get install eclipse
Then i wondering is there any good reason to install sudo apt-get install eclipse-jdt also?
Basically what extra functionality exactly do eclipse-jdt offers?
The article indicates that the eclipse package is Eclipse – the platform and not Eclipse – the Java IDE. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but if it is, then installing the eclipse-jdt package is a must if you want to develop in Java, as installing eclipse-cdt is a must if you want to develop in C++.
If the article is wrong, and eclipse is the full Java IDE, installing eclipse-jdt is indeed unnecessary.
