The following is a list of notableEclipse projects.
Although some of the listed projects play a vital role for the EclipseIDE the Eclipse project ecosystem covers a significantly larger scope than the Eclipse IDE.
These projects are maintained by the Eclipse community and hosted by the Eclipse Foundation.
Top-level sub-projects
[edit]- Eclipse Platform is the core framework that all other Eclipse projects are built on.[1]
- Java development tools (JDT) provides support for core Java SE. This includes a standalone fast incremental compiler.[2]
- Plug-in Development Environment (PDE) provides tools to create, develop, test, debug, build and deploy Eclipse plug-ins, fragments, features, update sites and RCP products.[3]
- Orion,CHE,Dirigible andTheia are browser-based IDEs and open tool integration platform which is entirely focused on developing for the web, in the web. Tools are written in JavaScript and run in the browser.[4][5]
- Oniro is an Open Source software platform, having an operating system, standard APIs and basic applications.[6]
The following sub-projects are located under theTools sub-project:
- Buckminster adds support for Component Assemblies.[7]
- C/C++ Development Tools (CDT) adds support for C/C++syntax highlighting, code formatting, debugger integration and project structures. Unlike the JDT project, the CDT project does not add a compiler and relies on an external tool chain.[8]
- Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) allows developers to build standalone graphical tools. Example use include circuit diagram design tools, activity diagram editors andWYSIWYG document editors.[9]
- PHP Development Tools (PDT)
- Parallel Tools Platform (PTP) adds support for parallel and high-performance computing development, analysis, run/monitoring, debugging, and performance analysis.[10]
- WindowBuilder is abi-directional Java GUI designer.[11]
Projects requiring an older version of the Eclipse platform:
- AspectJ Development Tools (AJDT) adds support for theAspectJ Java extensions. AJDT require Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede).[12]
The following sub-projects are located under theModeling sub-project:
- Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF), a modeling framework and code generation facility for building tools and other applications based on a structured data model, from a model specification described inXMI.[13]
- Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF) is a generative component and runtime infrastructure for developing graphical editors based on EMF and GEF.
- Acceleo, an Open Source code generator that usesEMF based models to generate any textual language (Java, PHP, Python, etc.).
- Sirius, an Open Source project to create custom graphical modeling workbenches by leveraging the Eclipse Modeling technologies, includingEMF and GMF.
- eTrice, an implementation of theReal-Time Object-Oriented Modeling language ROOM for event driven real-time software systems.[14]
- Vorto, standardization of information models which are an abstraction of a physical, real-world device.[15]
- Eclipse Papyrus Papyrus is an industrial-grade open source Model-Based Engineering tool. Papyrus has notably been used successfully in industrial projects and is the base platform for several industrial modeling tools.[16]
The following sub-projects are located under theTechnology sub-project:
- Application Lifecycle Framework, a closed project
- Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools Project (BIRT), an Eclipse-basedopen source reporting system for web applications, especially those based on Java EE.[21]
- Data Tools Platform Project (DTP) providesrelational database connectivity andSQL design tools.[22]
- Mylyn is a task-focused interface for Eclipse combining a task manager that integrates withbug trackers (such asBugzilla,Trac andJIRA) andversion control software with dynamic code filtering.[23]
- Test and Performance Tools Platform (TPTP) which provides a platform that allows software developers to build test and performance tools, such asdebuggers,profilers andbenchmarking applications.[24]
- Web Standard Tools (WST) adds standards compliant web development tools. These tools include editors forXML,HTML andCSS.[25]
- Mihini, an embedded runtime running on top of Linux, that exposes high-level Lua API for building M2M applications. Mihini aims at enabling easy and portable development, by facilitating access to the I/Os of an M2M system, providing a communication layer, etc.[26]
Third-party projects
[edit]- Android Development Tools Plugin for Eclipse is an Android Development Toolkit plugin for Eclipse.[27]
- CFEclipse is an open sourceColdFusion IDE based on the Eclipse platform.
- EPIC is an open sourcePerl IDE based on the Eclipse platform.[28]
- Adobe Flash Builder is an Eclipse-based IDE for developing rich Internet applications (RIAs) with the Adobe Flash/Flex framework.[29]
- Google Plugin for Eclipse is a Google App Engine and Google Web Toolkit plugin.[30]
- Groovy &Grails Tool Suite (GGTS) is an open source Eclipse based IDE tailored to developing Groovy programs and Grails web applications. Like Spring Tool Suite, GGTS includes the developer edition ofVMware vFabric tc Server.[31]
- JBoss Developer Studio (JBDS) is a development environment combining tooling and components of Eclipse, the Eclipse Web Tools Project, and theJBoss Enterprise Application Platform.
- The JMLSpecs Project adds support for theJML specification language to the Java features provided by the JDT. The project currently provides automatic JML compilation, the standard JML toolset, and Eclipse UI features such as syntax highlighting and content assistance.[32]
- Nodeclipse is Eclipse-based IDE for Node.js development.[33]
- PyDev is a fully functionalPython Integrated Development Environment (IDE) with refactoring support, and graphical debugging.[34]
- RadRails is an IDE forRuby on Rails.[35]
- Ruby Development Tools (RDT) is an open sourceRuby IDE for the Eclipse platform.[36]
- ScalaIDE plugin allows Eclipse users to design, debug and build programs inScala. The ScalaIDE supports mixed Scala/Java Projects,code completion, and an integrated debugger.[37]
- Spring Tool Suite (STS) is an open source IDE (also available as an Eclipse plugin) for building applications utilizing theSpring Framework. STS includes the developer edition of vFabric tc Server, advanced code completion and refactoring, a graphical Spring configuration editor, and tools forSpring Web Flow,Spring Batch,Spring Roo, andSpring Integration.[38][39]
- Wolfram Workbench is an IDE based on Eclipse (also available as an Eclipse plugin) for theMathematica language.[40]
- WOLips is an IDE forWebObjects.[41]
