What Eclipse should I download?
For general Java programming the Eclipse Classic would be appropriate. If you want to do web development, then I suggest the Java EE variant, which is suitable for JSP (it also contains everything the Classic variant does). Pick “Eclipse IDE for Java Developers” for now. It does everything except JSPs.
