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
environment. Eclipse delivers a framework for developing plug-ins that
make 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 JavaTM
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-source Eclipse
platform, integrate with the WebSphere Studio environment to provide
additional value.
