Difference between "Eclipse Indigo" and "Eclipse Juno"


Currently I'm using Eclipse Indigo (v3.7) for Selenium WebDriver automation tests with Java. There is also Eclipse Juno (v3.8 - 4.2) available that I have never used.

What's the difference between Eclipse Indigo and Eclipse Juno?


Solution

  • Since 2006, the Eclipse Foundation has coordinated an annual Simultaneous Release. Each release includes the Eclipse Platform as well as a number of other Eclipse projects. So far, each Simultaneous Release has occurred on the fourth Wednesday of June.

    Eclipse Indigo corresponds to platform version 3.7, while Eclipse Juno - to platform version 4.2. Juno has a lot of improvements on the UI, but this results in a bit slower performance that the previous versions. Personally, I would prefer using Indigo rather than using Juno.
