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, saving time and money. 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.
