Eclipse


Show me everything on Web services development

DEFINITION - Eclipse is an ongoing project in support of an open source integrated development environment (IDE). Eclipse provides a framework and a basic platform (called the Eclipse Platform) that allows a company to build an integrated development environment from plug-in software components provided by Eclipse members. Eclipse members include Hewlett Packard, IBM, and many other companies. A member company must offer an Eclipse plug-in product within a year of joining.

A major advantage to an open source development platform is that an enterprise can mix and match Eclipse-conforming products rather than being committed to a single vendor's suite of development products. Although the Eclipse Platform is written in Java, it supports plug-ins that allow developers to develop and test code written in other languages. The Eclipse architectural framework supports plug-ins for Java development tools, C and C++ development tools, test and performance tools, Web tools, business intelligence and reporting, modeling and graphical frameworks, project models, runtime and update capabilities, and user interface building.
