title: Eclipse Standard or Eclipse IDE for Java Developers?
body: <p>What type of developer are each of these IDEs aimed at?  Is one IDE a superset/subset of the other?  What can I do using one and not the other?</p>
  
  <p>I'm looking to do mostly desktop based (Windows) work for now so I believe I am correct in ignoring the Java EE <a href="http://eclipse.org/downloads/" rel="noreferrer">download</a> and focusing on these two.</p>
  
  <p>The  <a href="http://eclipse.org/downloads/compare.php?release=kepler" rel="noreferrer">comparison of features page</a> isn't helpful as I'm still new to Eclipse and Java. For example "Code Recommenders Developer Tools" means nothing to me yet.</p>
  
  <p>Eclipse standard has been downloaded 1.7 million times and is 246MB (as at 7-Sep-13).  While Eclipse IDE for Java developers has been downloaded 430,000 times and is 151MB.  </p>
  
  <p>So I'm guessing Eclipse Standard is the way to go, but why do they offer the second option?</p>
