Can open source IDEs coexist with commercial IDEs? The answer is most emphatically 'Yes.' We feel that Eclipse is providing the building blocks for creating IDEs, |
IBM has been at the forefront of establishing Eclipse as a premier open-source platform, and their continued commitment and contributions is an important part of our growing community. |
If we execute, we will, excuse the pun, Eclipse the Microsoft environment. Microsoft is worried about the passion of what open-source software means to developers. |
In the future we see Eclipse becoming a complete development platform with full application development lifecycle capabilities. It's still early, but tool integration is only one of the areas that will grow in importance, |

No 'real' conference would ever think of including two such wildly different topics on the same agenda. But in fact, it works really well to have such an eclectic mix. Everyone in the room is there because they want to be. |
Projects such as ALF enable vendors and users alike to provide the vision, innovation and resources to enhance the Eclipse platform. |
The ability to add and extend reporting components will allow developers to easily create specialized and reusable components for report builders. This should accelerate the number of commercial companies building Eclipse-based products, and the number of VARs developing Eclipse-based solutions. |
The breadth of industry interest and participation shows that this project has the potential to rapidly grow a community around it. |
The goal of Eclipse is to create a universal development platform to enable global enterprises to develop software more efficiently, |
The objective is to get people passionate about supporting the Eclipse projects. |
