Description

https://www.eclipse.org/eclipseide/ implies there is a single Eclipse IDE:

The Eclipse IDE delivers what you need to rapidly innovate.

At the same time, https://www.eclipse.org/ide/ implies the opposite, and even implies there are several desktop IDE-s:

Desktop IDEs
Eclipse is famous for our Java Integrated Development Environment (IDE), but our C/C++ IDE and PHP IDE are pretty cool too.

...before implying a single IDE at the end:

Get the latest version of the Eclipse IDE.

It would help to be consistent about such a basic topic. I guess historically, there was just 1 Eclipse IDE because there were no cloud IDE-s, and because there was only an IDE for Java. Nowadays though, there are IDE packages for several languages (one for Java, another one for PHP). So arguably, there are several Eclipse desktop IDE-s.

However, Eclipse IDE for Java Developers can become identical to Eclipse IDE for PHP Developers (for instance) simply by installing plugins in both. So I think it makes sense to consider the packages are more like different configurations than different IDE-s.

I will consider this bug solved no matter what solution is chosen, but I think the best solution is to say there is 1 Eclipse desktop IDE, with multiple IDE packages.
