Eclipse SDK

Eclipse SDK: Open-source Java IDE and platform for apps

Eclipse SDK is a free software framework delivering an open-source Java IDE and platform, developed for creating rich client applications.
Except from a small runtime kernel, Eclipse is based on plug-ins, thus providing a great variety of features and at the same time offering the possibility to extend its functionality by using other programming languages, such as C and Python.

Eclipse delivers all the means for creating both stylish and functional rich client applications through the built-in Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP), containing the following components:
- Equinox OSGi, a standard framework.
- A core platform, used to boot Eclipse and run plug-ins.
-The portable Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT).
- JFace, viewer classes delivering model view controller programming to SWT, file buffers, text handling and text editors.
- The Eclipse Workbench, containing views, editors, perspectives and wizards.
