What version of Eclipse is recommended for nRF52

[Steven Grunza]

I am about to start using the nRF52 for several projects and would like to know which version of Eclipse is recommended? Since Eclipse can be customized in many ways I'm looking for an answer more along the lines of Mars, Neon, Oxygen, etc rather than a specific set of plugins to use.

I would rather not deal with bugs or problems caused by trying to use too new (or too old) of a version of Eclipse for it to work well with the Nordic SDK (which looks like it is up to version 14.2 now).

If it matters my development environments will be either a VirtualBox'd Ubuntu 16.04LTS on a Win7 host or Fedora 26. Both are 64-bit.

Methinks Segger forums down, which is rather bad on their part. However I did (because I haven't done it before) just as in 2 minutes ago use SES to request a free license and I have it already and it's installed and it's already working .. I think those requests go by email so that works. It just picked the main MAC address off my box and the license code is smart enough to look through all of them, so it should work even under a virtual box etc. On the first build it just showed the license box and I hit 'free license' and it gave me a Nordic-related form and I got a license 5 seconds after hitting the button.

There's also a form here license.segger.com/Nordic.cgi which is essentially the same thing, you just have to pick a mac address for yourself.
