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.

eclipse is rocking cool
It's really the best coder out there ;)
The last feature it lacks is making coffee. Proven useful, but a bit bloated (thanks to java</troll>)
The best IDE for Windows.
You can use Eclipse for almost everything due to all the plugins; Aptana, Flex dev, pyDev, SVN, Java etc etc.
It's it bit flaky under Linux tho.
For just editing a single file i use emacs (nox).
Fantasmic!!!
Those who say that it's slow because it's written in Java really have no clue. IBM thought that the default java classes for the IDE were too slow and ugly so they developed their own and they are as fast as anything else out there. I don't like java all the much, but Eclipse rocks.
zap!
as 'musicfreak' once said...
"It's written in Java. 'Nuff said."
I've heard it's slow because of Java. For C++ I use MS Visual Studio but I'd like to work with Code::Blocks or KDevelop or Dev-C++ (all open sauce/free).

I simply can't get enough of this tiny core which can be so easily expanded. It's simply a great IDE.
so being a Mac OS X user, I had always written my code in either XCode or SubEthaEdit. However, there was a group Java project I was working on and they tried to convince me to use Eclipse.
The good: it immediately shows when you have errors in your code, such as undefined types (when you're missing an include), missing semicolons, etc, etc, without requiring you to recompile. You can also run JUnit tests.
The bad: it is unbelievably slow on my PowerBook G4 867. In addition, it seems to have some strange caching policy for files, so that if you modify a file outside its environment, you have to "Refresh" your workspace for it to notice it. What the hell? When I modify a file in Eclipse, the changes show up in XCode immediately!
Verdict: too slow to use on my machine and has some really strange quirks. Next time, I'll try to get a solution that wouldn't require running it to do my work (i.e. run unit tests).
It's almost ok.
So so.
i was wondering why this was showing up since I don't use XMIND at all. turns out that (at least on Mac OS X) using Eclipse will result in the tracker thinking you're using xmind instead...strange.
