Описание: To the millions of developers, engineers, and users all over the world, Eclipse is an extensible platform for tool integration. To the hundreds of thousands of commercial customers using it to develop plug-ins or complete tool platforms, Eclipse represents a proven, reliable, scalable technology on which commercial products can be quickly designed, developed, and deployed.
To the thousands of students and researchers, Eclipse represents a stable platform for innovation, freedom, and experimentation. To all these individuals, groups, and organizations, Eclipse is a vendor-neutral platform for tool integration supported by a diverse Eclipse Ecosystem.
The Eclipse vendor-neutral platform is built on industry standards, which support a wide range of tools, platforms, and languages. The Eclipse Technology is royalty-free and has worldwide redistribution rights. The platform was designed from a clean slate to be extensible and to provide exemplary tools.
Eclipse development is based on rules of open source engagements. This includes open, transparent, merit-based, and collaborative development. All individuals can participate and contribute. All plans are developed in the public arena. This platform and the open source development process creates an environment for creativity, originality, and freedom. Eclipse is unparalleled in today’s software-tool environment.
The software-tool industry is undergoing massive changes from the commoditization of the technology to the company consolidation. New technology efforts are being redesigned, while a common set of tooling infrastructure is adopted as an industry standard. Successful developers and development paradigms are being challenged to adopt new skills and new, more efficient methods. Old business models are being challenged with free software, and new business models are being developed.
