I'm using Eclipse 3.7 classic and I need to do Java EE development.
How can I start development in eclipse 3.7 itself? A different version of Eclipse is available for Java EE development, but is it possible to use the 3.7 version itself?
From where can I get add-on plugins to do the Java EE development and web page creation?
You can accomplish this by going to update sites for all the add-ons and plug-ins that you'd like. The Eclipse for Java EE download is still 3.7 Indigo. It just already has the typical suite of plugins for Java EE development installed.

How can I upgrade my Eclipse neon to Java EE ( I need to create a java servelet that needs to be called by my php) using Ubuntu 16.04.
You need to install modules that are required for Java EE. Have a look into this thread
I've been wondering how am I supposed to get Eclipse Java EE IDE for web developer.
I installed Neon Eclipse a month ago to do my core Java course and I'm starting on my Servlets and JSPs: Creating Web Application.
But I am unsure on how in doing it. My current neon eclipse only enable me to choose this option as shown below.
Based on my online tutorial courses, I need to get this information when creating a file from eclipse. But my neon eclipse doesn't have the option that allows me to.
Do I need to download a new eclipse specially for Java EE IDE web developer? If yes, which should I be downloading? E.g luma or etc etc. Will it overwrite my current eclipse program that I have on my computer for my core Java? I am afraid that my current eclipse program will get affected.
Thanks in advance. Sorry, I'm new and unfamiliar with the software and how in doing it.
Eclipse IDE is extensible or modular. If you didn't get the Java EE version initially, you can simply install into your existing IDE the support for Java EE. To do so, go to Help > Install Software... , on the installation dialog, show the Neon repository and find ymthe various extensions related to Java EE and Web development. Select them and click install. Upon restart, you'll get the Java EE support there.
Am I doing the same thing by installing the Java EE package from the official Java website and installing the Eclipse IDE for Java EE developers? Do they have the same components?
No they do not have same components!
Difference between Eclipse for Java EE and Classic version of Eclipse with Java EE libraries is that you have editors for various things like HTML to JSP/JSF. You also have additional functionality like servers to configure. But irrespective of Eclipse you are using you need the java EE library to run your apps. So you either install Java EE SDK(and then configure Eclipse to use this SDK) or use a dependency manager.
When you download Eclipse IDE for Java EE you get tools for developing EE applications. For eg. XML editors and tools, servers etc. Before you start running your EE applications you have to specify installation path for your server like Tomcat or Glassfish which is also a part oh your Java EE SDK installation. These servers containers provide the runtime libraries needed for your dynamic web projects to run. Yes you still need the libraries at compile time which is why most programmers use some dependency manager like Apache Ivy or Maven. Also Java EE libraries like javax.annotation you have to provide it in dependency manager.
So if I just installed Java SE first and then Eclipse for Java EE, wouldn't I have the Java EE libraries?
No! So when you install Java SE you will get standard java libraries.When you install Eclipse(and configure it to use Java SE SDK you just installed) for Java EE(including server) you will have all the tools required to configure and run web application. But if you want EE functionality you need to add those corresponding libraries - either install SDK or use dependency manager. So both - Eclipse for Java EE and Java EE SDK are really two different things and you need both to run Java EE applications.

You need the "Ecplipse Java Web Developer Tools" plugin for that.
I am just starting with Java EE6. i have installed netbeans 7.2 though the sample applications based on java EE6 runs successfully. My question is do i still need to install Java EE6 SDK?? if not, then why is that Java EE6 SDK comes separately???
No you don't need it.
Java EE SDK is available as a standalone package because SUN's philosophy was not to require any specific environment (IDE) to do Java development.
