The Eclipse Platform is a fresh start at an open integrated development environment (IDE) system with broad commercial participation. While classic tools like Emacs and others have supported the development needs of developers worldwide, most lacked the advanced features and convenience of GUI based IDEs, as well as an easily extensible nature, available in commercial tools. With over 1200 developers from 63 countries involved in the Eclipse open source community process and with more than 150 leading software tools vendors working with it, Eclipse stands a chance to change that entirely.
Eclipse is the basis of IBM's next generation of WebSphere Studio products, which is a suite of tools that encompasses all of your development needs -- Web development, enterprise-scale application development, and development for wireless devices. The Studio tools run on top of WebSphere Studio Workbench, an open, extensible, tool integration platform that lets tool builders seamlessly integrate tools and application resources across the development lifecycle. The Workbench is the foundation for IBM's next generation of application development tools.
