5, they should be equally good for our purposes, but please note

Eclipse WTP has quite a number of benefits over the bare-bones Eclipse, including
the following:
It has source code editors for different Web-related formats, including HTML
and XML.
It is aware of Web and Java EE standard project structures and so can create
such projects, import, export them, and so on.
It has convenient tools for working with servers.
It makes debugging easy.
In fact, if you had any experience with a commercial Eclipse-based development
environment, like Rational Application Developer, you will recognize many of its
convenient features in Eclipse WTP.
To install Eclipse WTP, simply unpack the downloaded package and put the
resulting directory somewhere on your hard drive (as an example, it can become
C:\eclipse).
You will also need to decide where you are going to store your Eclipse projects,
since, at the first startup Eclipse will ask you to select a directory for this. It can be
something like C:\workspace in the simplest case.
To run Eclipse, double-click on the eclipse.exe file that can be found in the
C:\eclipse directory (on a Mac, the file name is Eclipse.
