The Eclipse project was originally developed by IBM, but has since been developed by the Eclipse Foundation, an independent, non-profit organization that promotes the open source community and a set of complementary products, features, and services.

The Eclipse SDK is a platform for programming and compiling components of Java applications, websites, or C++-based programs.

The functionality of the Eclipse IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is based on plug-ins that adapt to the programmer’s needs. This modularity allows the development environment to support languages ​​other than Java.
