Most people know Eclipse as an integrated development environment (IDE) for Java.
Eclipse
is created by an Open Source community and is used in several different
areas, e.g. as a development environment for Java or Android.
The
Eclipse project is governed by the Eclipse Foundation. The Eclipse
Foundation is a non-profit, member supported corporation that hosts the
Eclipse projects and helps to cultivate both an open source community
and an ecosystem of complementary products and services.
Eclipse roots go back to 2001. Today it is the leading development environment for Java with approx. 65% marketshare.
Eclipse
can be extended with additional functionalities. Several Open Source
projects and companies have extended Eclipse with additional components.
It is also possible to use Eclipse as a basis for creating general
purpose applications (Eclipse RCP).
