If you want to check if your -vm eclipse.ini option worked correctly you can use this to see under what JVM the IDE itself runs: menu Help > About Eclipse > Installation Details > Configuration tab. Locate the line that says: java.runtime.version=....
The one the eclipse run in is the default java installed in the system (unless set specifically in the eclipse.ini file, use the -vm option). You can of course add more Java runtimes and use them for your projects
The string you've written is the right one, but it is specific to your environment. If you want to know the exact update then run the following code:
public class JavaVersion {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.runtime.version"));
}
}

The Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers allows to do what you're asking for out of the box.
Should I download a totally new version from Eclipse site or can I just ADD necessary features/plugins to my current Eclipse setup.
Both would work, although it would be simpler to just get directly the Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers (especially if you don't know exactly what plugin(s) you're looking for). Personally, I don't use the version you can get from the repository but download Eclipse from the official website and install it in user mode.
Anyway to add support for the Java 21 preview in Eclipse ? I'm currently using the Entreprise Java distro (J2EE) based on Eclipse 2023-06 (4.28.0) and I'm trying to activate the support for JDK 21 (which is available as an early-access build from OpenJDK).
I want to fiddle around with the loom virtual threads and some of the latest pattern matching changes (JEP 441).
But every which way I try to google it, all that comes around is either ways to add Java 20 support to a 2023-03 install, or stuff relative to old 2021-xx distros.
HI everyone Im relative new to this java/spring world as .Net Dev i found Spring overwhelming, Im on a migration but the team just because is easy told me to open the project in Netbeans 8.2/WebLogic, but i found that several entities where Generated by Eclipse/Jboss && hbm2java
