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 only the Eclipse Rich Client Platform upon which any other Eclipse-based application can be constructed. It doesn't include any development plug-ins. These are available in different packages: . * eclipse-jdt Java Development Tools * eclipse-pde Plug-in Development Tools * eclipse Complete development environment . This package is the base for all Eclipse applications.
