OK, so since RHEL 6.0 was released on 11/10/2010, we get eclipse 3.6 which was released on 6/23/2010 (according to Wikipedia) and we can only get 3.6.x updates until RHEL 7.0 is release. If RHEL 7.0 was released today, eclipse would jump to 4.3 (ignoring any other complications) which was released on 6/26/2013. Got it.
