Description-en: Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE
The Eclipse Platform is an open and extensible platform for anything and yet
nothing in particular. It provides a foundation for constructing and running
integrated software-development tools. The Eclipse Platform allows tool
builders to independently develop tools that integrate with other people's
tools so seamlessly you can't tell where one tool ends and another starts.
.
This package provides the whole Eclipse SDK that contains Eclipse Platform,
Java development tools and Plug-in Development Environment, including source
and both user and programmer documentation.
