Eclipse

Eclipse

Eclipse is an open source community whose projects are focused on building an open development platform comprised of extensible frameworks, tools and runtimes for building, deploying and managing software across the lifecycle. A large and vibrant ecosystem of major technology vendors, innovative start-ups, universities, research institutions and individuals extend, complement and support the Eclipse platform.

Eclipse平台是IBM向开发源码社区捐赠的开发框架，它之所以出名并不是因为IBM宣称投入开发的资金总数 —4千万美元，而是因为如此巨大的投入所带来的成果：一个成熟的、精心设计的以及可扩展的体系结构。
