History of Eclipse Fulltext: http://www.venukb.com/blog/2006/07/21/history-of-eclipse/ Abstract: In the late 1990s, IBM began development of what we now know as Eclipse. In the mid-1990s, a number of powerful commercial development environments were available; Microsoft Visual Studio was becoming a more general-purpose tools platform. A number of Java-based IDEs were also coming into play. Teams of IBM wanted to build a great Java IDE to attract people to the platform. Good strategy. Come for the Java IDE, stay for the platform. (However whenever Eclipse is mentioned , many people think of it as a Java IDE, this a misconception and Eclipse is much more than a Java IDE) One goal of IBM was that they wanted to be competitive with Visual Studio, especially on Windows. This led to the design of SWT (Standard Widget Toolkit). This component gives Eclipse the native look and feel. I guess this also drove the platform decision to loosely couple the JDT (Java Development Tool) from the Platform, which is one thing why it makes it different from NetBeans. In fact the name “Eclipse” actually means “to eclipse Visual Studio.” Eclipse is now the industry’s major non-Microsoft software tool platform. My Opinion: Eclipse Visual C++ is also ready. --
