Eclipse and MyEclipse look similar, and you might think the difference is just the “MY,” while in a real sense, they are different.
Eclipse is a platform for developing java programs while MyEclipse is used to develop web-based applications; it is also a plugin for that platform. MyEclipse is a licensed product that was built on Eclipse.

MyEclipse provides advanced features, while Eclipse will provide a few features. Eclipse is the base for so many other IDE’s while MyEclipse is the extra plugin for the eclipse for EJB features. Eclipse is a plugin for architectural patterns, while MyEclipse is a full-featured platform for software development applications. Eclipse is a part of the context of an Eclipse workbench; it also offers optional technology bundles.

Eclipse and MyEclipse are two types of Java IDE's. They both support a number of programming languages, but between the two, MyEclipse supports more. Eclipse is seen as the trial version of MyEclipse. The reason for this is related to their source and their pricing. Eclipse is open-source, which makes it free of charge. My Eclipse is closed source, so there is a cost to access it.

Eclipse is a plugin. It has a pattern that is architectural to it, while MyEclipse is a platform full of features and is used for the purpose of software applications.

Eclipse and MyEclipse seem to be the same in the beginning but the more that you use them, the more that you will realize just how different they actually are. The Eclipse is meant to provide you with an architectural pattern that you can use so that you can create the right application.

When the Eclipse is running, it is supposed to make sure that it will be connected to another plugin. This will provide the needed support for the whole website.

The main concept of MyEclipse is to make sure that it will offer other technology bundles that you may need while you are working on your project. Eclipse is part of the whole workbench.
