Author :
Yang, Zhihui ; Jiang, Michael
Abstract :
Eclipse is an open source software project dedicated to providing a robust, full-featured, and commercial-quality platform for developing and supporting highly integrated software engineering tools. Excepting the small Eclipse runtime kernel, all the platform components are plug-in tools integrated seamlessly through predefined extension points. The platform supports deliverables throughout the development and maintenance life cycle
