4.0 About Eclipse
Eclipse is an open-source project that creates royalty-free
technology and a universal platform for tools integration. Eclipse-based
tools give developers freedom of choice in a multi-language, multi-platform, multi-vendor environment. Eclipse delivers a framework for developing plug-ins
that makes it easier to create, integrate, and use software tools. By collaborating
and sharing core integration technology, tool producers can concentrate
on their areas of expertise and the creation of new development technology.
The Eclipse platform is written in the Java language and comes with extensive
toolkits and examples for construction plug-ins. It has already been deployed
on a range of operating system environments including Linux, MAC OS X,
QNX, and Windows-based systems. Full details of the Eclipse community and
white papers documenting the design of the Eclipse platform are available
at www.eclipse.org.
Toolkits
and complementary middleware from
IBM integrate with the WebSphere Studio environment, allowing you to quickly
and easily add new functionality targeted at specific development needs.
Plug-in
tools from other vendors, also built using the
open Eclipse platform, integrate with the WebSphere Studio environment
to provide additional value.
