Ec l i pse
n Open Source project "donated" by IBM
n Eclipse is itself written in Java
n Eclipse is only a framework: Everything is a plugin!
n Formally defined Extension Points and Plugin dependencies
n Very small kernel (Platform Runtime): The framework itself is
implemented as a set of plugins
n Own UI approach (SWT / JFace)
n Workbench plugin as generic
framework for any tool
n Complete Java (J2SE) IDE comes with
Eclipse
uSet of plugins
uOpen Source
n Eclipse is the basis of IBMs IDE WSAD
n Many vendors are providing Eclipse
plugins: Strong Industry drive
2002 SAP Labs, LLC, JAVA101, Karl Kessler 11
Ec l i pse: Pr oj ec t s
n Multiple projects can be
opened at the same time
n Project dependencies can be
declared
n Workspace principle: a
workspace defines the scope
of accessible resources
n No workspace switch
at run time

n Perspective
uIs composed of all visual components (views) for one aspect of the
development
uExamples
l Java perspective: Package view, Java editor, Outline pane for Java
source/class files
l Debug perspective: Java editor, thread display, breakpoint list, etc.
n Quick and easy switch
n Perspectives are personalizable
uAdd/remove views
uCompose new perspectives from existing views
n Perspectives allow focussing on a certain aspect of development
