It is ideal for programming applications for Windows platforms, and it lets you add text to the source code of a Windows application or a web page. The download page lists a number of flavors of eclipse. The capabilities of each packaging of eclipse are different.

The drop down box in the right corner of the download page allows you to set the operating system on which eclipse is to be installed.

Installing with a package manager
SDKMAN! is a tool for managing parallel versions of multiple Software Development Kits on most Unix-based systems.
Homebrew is “the missing package manager for macOS”.
Other package managers are available, but the version of Gradle distributed by them is not controlled by Gradle, Inc. Linux package managers may distribute a modified version of Gradle that is incompatible or incomplete when compared to the official version (available from SDKMAN! or below).
