Eclipse

Eclipse is an integrated development environment that is an updated version of VisualAge for Java, it comes with Java development support as standard but can be extended to support any programming language via plug-ins. There is currently no native OS/2 version but older versions of Eclipse for MS Windows can be made to work.

The Eclipse SDK includes the Eclipse Platform, Java development tools (JDT), and Plug-in Development Environment (PDE), including source and both user and programmer documentation.
