[edit] What's an OTI?
It doesn't say this anywhere on the page or provide a link that explains it.
- It stands for 'Object Technology International'. Rcjsuen 22:26, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Third Generation?
It seems somewhat biased to call SWT a third-generation widget toolkit that improves upon Swing, which is still the more popular toolkit. The SWT article has a more neutral viewpoint, including a detailed list of pros and cons as compared to Swing. Anyone else's thoughts? --LostLeviathan 16:10, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- I agree, I've softened the language here a little bit, as well as making a few other corrections and improvements to the article. Andrewferrier 18:29, 2004 Nov 30 (UTC)
- Softened it a bit more.

- This is still coming across as saying 'SWT obsoletes Swing'. The Widget toolkit article does not discuss generations of toolkits so I've removed the 'nth-generation' language. Gruntbuggly 21:55, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Name
Shouldn't this article be called Eclipse (software), rather than "Eclipse (computing)" ? Eclipse isn't a computing term, like, say, Port (computing) is. It's software. —Pengo 01:59, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
- Probably. 128.226.230.90 13:29, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] OSGi
Why is OSGi referenced here? I see no relation to Eclipse on its pages. Oberiko 16:26, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
OSGi is now being used in Eclipse to provide plug-in functionality. All Eclipse plugin components are OSGi bundles. This was one of the deliverables from Eclipse's Equinox project Ltc 19:59, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Corporate Uses
It could maybe be mentioned that SAP AG uses Ecplise as the base for its Netweaver Developer Studio

[edit] Intro
Is the first sentence here really sufficient? Eclipse has a Rich Client Platform, but is it proper to say that Eclipse' purpose is rich client applications? --Ej0c 13:38, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
- This intro seems to blur the terms eclipse and SWT into one, which gives the illusion that eclipse is an SWT development environment (and nothing more). Yea, eclipse can help develop software other than 'rich client applications', but SWTs purpose is solely for 'rich client applications' - 202.138.196.146 22:25, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- Answer to Ej0c is no. Statement 1 and 2 of the intro is quite misleading. Roarjo 20:21, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] UML Tools
What is the rationale of listing here a set of UML tools that are completely unrelated to Eclipse?
[edit] EasyEclipse
Some mention should be made about EasyEclipse, it would seem a good place for people to start with eclipse. http://www.easyeclipse.org Mathiastck 23:17, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] List of projects with Eclipse specific plugins
We need a List of projects with Eclipse specific plugins. Perhaps it should have a better title. We should also list the number of sites that host their own version of eclipse, with their own plugins built in, like Jboss and Sybmian Carbide. Mathiastck 23:55, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] JRE requirement
No mention in the article that JAVA jre needs to be installaed to run Eclipse
[edit] Related page Eclipse Modeling Project
Eclipse Modeling Project - Is not quite upto scratch in terms of the tone that is used. Could use some help.--Konst.ableTalk 08:03, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Java Emitter Template(s)
This page is the object of a redirect from Java Emitter Templates but does not mention why. Could someone who understands please add something to justify this link, eg. 'formerly or otherwise known as Java Emitter Templates'. Thanks. 202.64.168.196 09:51, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
