Eclipse is an amazing open source community of Tools, Projects and Collaborative Working Groups.

Tools and IDEs
Eclipse provides IDEs and platforms nearly every language and architecture. We are famous for our Java IDE, C/C++, JavaScript and PHP IDEs built on extensible platforms for creating desktop, Web and cloud IDEs. These platforms deliver the most extensive collection of add-on tools available for software developers.

Desktop IDEs
Eclipse is famous for our Java Integrated Development Environment (IDE), but our C/C++ IDE and PHP IDE are pretty cool too. You can easily combine language support and other features into any of our default packages, and the Eclipse Marketplace allows for virtually unlimited customization and extension.

Cloud IDEs
Develop your software wherever you go. It’ll be there, in the cloud, right where you left it. Use your browser to develop with hosted workspaces or install desktop packaging to experience a modern development environment for Java, JavaScript, CSS, and HTML.

IDE Platforms
Create the next generation of developer tooling with our extensible platforms. Use your imagination to build services and tools that can be assembled into new IDEs or packages tailored to your identity. We provide multiple platforms to build plug-ins for desktop tools, distributed services used by cloud IDEs, and browser interfaces. You can then publish plug-ins to our Eclipse Marketplace of 1000s.

Tutorials for Java Development with Eclipse
Eclipse and Java for Total Beginners

This series of 16 tutorials is designed to help get you started writing Java programs using the Eclipse integrated development environment. The tutorials and all of the required software is free. Users have downloaded over 353,000 files from this tutorial project since it’s release in July 2007.

Eclipse and Java for Total Beginners

(http://eclipsetutorial.sourceforge.net/totalbeginner.html)

This free video tutorial will help get you started writing Java programs using Eclipse version 3.3. No prior experience with Eclipse or Java is assumed. The 16 lessons total about 3 1/4 hours and are each between 9 and 14 minutes long. The lessons guide you through a step-by-step process creating a simple “personal lending library” application. Each lesson is fully narrated.

All of the code for the lessons is typed in “real time”. This allows the demonstration of many Eclipse Java editor features that speed up coding. Code snapshots as of the end of each lesson are provided in the Tutorial Companion Guide. These allow you to jump in at any lesson and to make sure your code matches the sample code.

Test-driven development is used throughout the lessons, using the JUnit testing facility in Eclipse. The lessons are designed for you to work side-by-side, pausing and rewinding the video as needed. See the Tutorial Companion Guide for more information about the tutorial, or look at the tutorial lesson outlines.

Tutorial Companion Guide (PDF 305B )

You can view all of the tutorials on Youtube or you can download them at the project download page.

The tutorials use Eclipse version 3.3 (Europa), released June 2007.

Eclipse

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse_(software))

In computer programming, Eclipse is an integrated development environment (IDE). It contains a base workspace and an extensible plug-in system for customizing the environment. Eclipse is written mostly in Java and its primary use is for developing Java applications, but it may also be used to develop applications in other programming languages through the use of plugins, including: Ada, ABAP, C, C++, COBOL, Fortran, Haskell, JavaScript, Lasso, Lua, NATURAL, Perl, PHP, Prolog, Python, R, Ruby (including Ruby on Rails framework), Scala, Clojure, Groovy, Scheme, and Erlang. It can also be used to develop packages for the software Mathematica. Development environments include the Eclipse Java development tools (JDT) for Java and Scala, Eclipse CDT for C/C++ and Eclipse PDT for PHP, among others.

The initial codebase originated from IBM VisualAge. The Eclipse software development kit (SDK), which includes the Java development tools, is meant for Java developers. Users can extend its abilities by installing plug-ins written for the Eclipse Platform, such as development toolkits for other programming languages, and can write and contribute their own plug-in modules.

Released under the terms of the Eclipse Public License, Eclipse SDK is free and open-source software (although it is incompatible with the GNU General Public License). It was one of the first IDEs to run under GNU Classpath and it runs without problems under IcedTea.
