The sessions about the new enhanced features of Eclipse 3.4 & Improved User Interface were found useful and appreciated by the participants. Eclipse is an open source community, whose projects are focused on building an extensible development platform, runtimes and application frameworks for building, deploying and managing software across the entire software lifecycle. Many people know us, and hopefully love us, as a Java IDE but Eclipse is much more than a Java IDE. |
