Eclipse v2022.3

Tags： Java开发 集成开发环境 插件扩展

Eclipse itself is merely a framework platform, but with the support of numerous plugins, it offers a flexibility that is difficult for other IDEs with more fixed functionalities. Many software developers use Eclipse as a framework to create their own integrated development environments (IDEs). Originally developed by IBM as the next-generation IDE to replace Visual Age for Java, Eclipse was donated to the open-source community in November 2001. It is now managed by the non-profit software supplier alliance known as the Eclipse Foundation.
