The only problem is that its a bit slow. I would rate eclipse as the second best dev environment for Java guys after emacs. 297822178 2007-05-02T19:43:34Z 1804 2012-02-10T09:46:32Z Eclipse 5060 2009-12-01T14:37:13Z http://www.eclipse.org http://wakoopa.com/software/eclipse http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/002/729/normal.png?1238516270 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/002/729/thumb.png?1238516270 2939 Eclipse Foundation http://wakoopa.com/developers/eclipse-foundation 51 Text Editors & IDEs http://wakoopa.com/categories/development/text-editors-ides mac win linux Eclipse is an open-source, platform-independent software framework, written primarily in Java, for delivering what the project calls "rich-client applications," as opposed to "thin client" browser-based applications. So far this framework has typically been used to develop Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), such as the Java IDE called Java Development Toolkit (JDT) and compiler (ECJ) that comes as part of Eclipse (and which are also used to develop Eclipse itself). However, it can be used for other types of client application as well.
