The Eclipse Project Downloads

On this page you can find the latest builds produced by the Eclipse Project. To get started, run the program and go through the user and developer documentation provided in the help system or see the web-based help system. If you have problems installing or getting the workbench to run, check out the Eclipse Project FAQ, or try posting a question at the Discussions area of the affected Eclipse Platform, Equinox, JDT or PDE repository or just at Eclipse Platform Discussions.

See the main Eclipse Foundation download site for convenient all-in-one packages. The archive site contains older releases (including the last 3.x version, 3.8.2).

Latest Releases

Latest Releases

Releases are builds that have been declared as release for the general public. Releases are the right builds for people who want to be on a stable, tested release, and don't need the latest greatest features and improvements. Release builds always have an "R" at the beginning of the name i.e. R4.0, R4.39 etc.

The p2-repositories of specific releases are located within download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates.
For the latest release the p2-repositories is always referenced from download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/latest.

Retention policy

Releases are retained indefinitely.
However, only the build websites of the last three releases are provided at this main download area. Older releases are available in the Eclipse Archive. Links to artifacts, that were later moved to the archive, are transparently redirected and continue to work. Similarly the P2-repositories of only the last ten releases are provided in this download area and older repositories are moved to the archive. Again, links pointing to P2-repositories at this main download area continue to work, even after a repository was moved to the archive.

Stable Builds

Stable Builds

Stable builds are integration builds that have been found to be stable enough for most people to use. They are promoted from integration to stable build on a regular schedule, as milestones or release-candidates and after they have been used for a few days and deemed reasonably stable. The latest stable build is the right build for people who want to stay up to date with what is going on in the latest development stream, and don't mind putting up with a few problems in order to get the latest greatest features and bug fixes. The latest stable build is the one the development team likes people to be using, because of the valuable and timely feedback.

Retention policy

Stable builds and their P2-repositories are retained until the targeted release is published.

Integration Builds

Integration Builds

An Integration build (short I-Build) is usually produced once a day and reflects the latest development state of the main branches of all contributing Git repositories. Even though changes are developed with great diligence, I-Builds are more likely to contain bugs and functionality degradations may occur temporarily. In case of a severe problem the corresponding I-Build is marked as unstable. I-Builds are recommended for developers of Eclipse itself and for those interested in testing the very latest features, bug-fixes and state.

The p2-repostory of a specific I-build is linked at the build's page.
The p2-repositories of the latest I-builds are is always referenced from download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/I-builds.

Retention policy

The build website of an I-Build is retained for at least five days. From older I-Builds only the first (not unstable) build of a week is retained until the targeted release is published. The p2-repository of each I-Build is retained until the targeted release is published.

Beta Java Builds

Beta Java Builds

Beta Java Builds provide the latest development state of the support for the upcoming, not yet released Java version in Eclipse JDT's Java Compiler ECJ, UI and debug support. These builds are produced regularly from dedicated beta branches in the JDT Git repositories.

Retention policy

For Beta Java Builds the websites of last nine builds are retained. The corresponding P2-repositories are retained until the next development cycle respectively the targeted java version is released.
