Eclipse IDE is the most widely used IDE to work on Open Source technologies stack. An integrated development environment (IDE) is a software application that provides comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. An IDE normally consists of a source code editor, build automation tools and a debugger. Most modern IDEs have intelligent code completion and in some cases a compiler too. Eclipse is an integrated development environment (IDE) used in code development, and is the most widely used Java and other Open Source Technology stacks IDE. It contains a base workspace and an extensible plug-in system for customizing the environment. Its primary use is for developing Java applications, but it may also be used to develop applications in other programming languages via plug-ins, including Ada, ABAP, C, C++, COBOL, D, Fortran, Haskell, JavaScript, Julia, Lasso, Lua, NATURAL, Perl, PHP, Prolog, Python, R, Ruby (including Ruby on Rails framework), Rust, Scala, Clojure, Groovy, Scheme, and Erlang.
If you are quite an admirer of Android you must be aware of the fact how Android names its versions Alphabetically on the name of various desserts and sweets. From v1.5 Cupcake it has been following the alphabetical order with further releases with v1.6 Donut, v2.1 Eclair, v2.2 Froyo, v2.3 Gingerbread, v3.0 Honeycomb, v4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich , v4.1 Jelly Bean, v4.4 KitKat, v5.0 Lollopop, v6.0 Marshmallow, v7.0 Nougat. But do you know the Eclipse IDE has been following this trend even the way before Android's first release was released. The only difference being it has been naming its versions on the names of celestial objects & phenomena and other scientific entities.
The Eclipse Project was originally created by IBM in November 2001 and supported by a consortium of software vendors. The Eclipse Foundation was created in January 2004 as an independent not-for-profit corporation to act as the steward of the Eclipse community. The independent not-for-profit corporation was created to allow a vendor neutral and open, transparent community to be established around Eclipse. Today, the Eclipse community consists of individuals and organizations from a cross section of the software industry. Since 2004, this community has been releasing a new version of eclipse in June every year.

According to Lee Nackman, Chief Technology Officer of IBM's Rational division (originating in 2003) at that time, the name "Eclipse" (dating from at least 2001) was not a wordplay on Sun Microsystems, as the product's primary competition at the time of naming was Microsoft Visual Studio, which Eclipse was to eclipse.
Different versions of Eclipse follow an alphabetical order and have been given different celestial objects & phenomena and other scientific entities names. The versions named after Callisto, Europa, and Ganymede, which are moons of Jupiter, were followed by a version named after Galileo the discoverer of those moons. These were followed by two sun-themed names, Helios of Greek mythology, and Indigo, one of the seven colors of a rainbow (which is produced by the sun). The version after that, Juno, has a triple meaning: a Roman mythological figure, an asteroid, and a spacecraft to Jupiter. Kepler, Luna, and Mars continued the astronomy theme, and then a new theme of chemical elements began, consisting of Neon and Oxygen. Photon represents a return to sun-themed names. Following are the complete details of its Versions and Version Names:
