[s sivaraman]

Hi,

do you guys know which is the appropriate version of eclipse IDE for java EE development?
i found one from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/mars/2/eclipse-jee-mars-2-win32-x86_64.zip&mirror_id=1093 but it doesnt seem to be working after i extract the zip file.
Note: while i extract it i got archive corrupt error and checksum error,nevertheless i was able to extract it completely.

thank you

Stop right there.

If the unzip utility says the zipfile was corrupt, then the zipfile is useless regardless of what you got out of it. Those error-checking codes are in there for a reason.

You need to download a clean copy.
