How do you check the current version of eclipse that I am currently running? Is it possible to tell if it is aqua or carbon (I am running Mac OS X 10.5)?
I too have struggled a lot to get version number of Eclipse. Also as discussed in other posts we can easily get the name but NOT the version number. I found a more simpler way to get the version number:
Each Eclipse installation directory in your system has a html readme file at eclipse/readme/readme_eclipse. Just open that and you will notice the first 2 lines of the html file has version details.
