I believe you can find out Eclipse Platform version for every software product that is Eclipse-based.

  1. Open Installation Details:

    • Go to Help => About => Installation Details.
    • Or to Help => Install New Software... => click What is already installed? link.
  2. Choose Plug-ins tab => type org.eclipse.platform => check Version column.

  3. You can match version code and version name on https://wiki.eclipse.org/Older_Versions_Of_Eclipse

For example, check out GitEye (Git GUI client) GitEye Installation Details

Or checkout DBBeaver (DB manager):

Go to the folder in which eclipse is installed then open readme folder followed by the readme txt file. Here you will find all the info you need.


Open .eclipseproduct in the product installation folder. Or open Configuration\config.ini and check property eclipse.buildId if exist.
