I am new to Web Development and Java. I am learning dynamic web development with Java. When I install the Eclipse IDE, which should I install? Eclipse IDE for Java Developers or Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers or Eclipse IDE for JavaScript and Web Developers. Lastly, should i use gradle or maven? Thank you.

  • For dynamic web development with Java use Eclipse IDE for *Java EE Developers*, a similar question answered [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4213712/what-is-the-difference-between-eclipse-for-java-ee-developers-and-eclipse-clas). As for gradle or maven, my university course used maven. – chickity china chinese chicken Aug 04 '16 at 00:49

If you are just learning, I would suggest Eclipse for Java Developers. Java EE has several features that a beginner is unlikely to use, and you want to keep unused features in Eclipse to a minimum, since they do cause Eclipse to start slowly and build programs slowly if you're not careful. I have not tried Eclipse for JavaScript, so I can't tell you anything about it, but you can download anything you need for web development in Eclipse for Java. Look up "eclipse web tools". There are several tutorials on downloading that package.

Whether you use Maven or Gradle shouldn't affect much if you're just learning. I'm personally more familiar with Maven, but both are dependency managers and should meet your needs just fine. My suggestion would be to do a simple tutorial that uses one of the two and just install the dependency manager that the tutorial uses.
