Eclipse classic vs Java EE

C

I'm updating a seriously outdated version of Eclipse, and I notice on
the Eclipse site
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
a number of options, including Eclipse Classic and Eclipse IDE for
Java EE.

Now, a really stupid question: which one is better?

Just kidding. ;-) But I really would like to know if there is any
significant difference between the two, and if so, what the difference
is. I don't to EE, but I will be migrating that way in a year
probably.

I'm a modest user of Java, and although I have NetBeans, JBuilder,
VS.NET, JEdit, Textpad, and a couple of others, my development tools
consists of vi, javac, java, jar, and javadoc. I'm beginning to find
that there are insufficient for what I'm doing.

Thanks, CC.

I believe the difference is in which plugins are pre-installed.

Apparently, Classic comse with the source, and EE comes with a lot of
plugins. I don't need either at this point, but I'll probably use the
plugins rather than the source.

Thanks, CC.
