Editing Eclipse (software) (section)

==History==
Eclipse was inspired by the [[Smalltalk]]-based [[VisualAge]] family of [[integrated development environment]] (IDE) products.<ref name="VisualAge"/> Although fairly successful, a major drawback of the VisualAge products was that developed code was not in a [[component-based software engineering]] model. Instead, all code for a project was held in a compressed database using [[Source Code in Database|SCID]] techniques (somewhat like a zip file but in .dat). Individual classes could not be easily accessed, certainly not outside the tool. A team primarily at the IBM Cary, North Carolina, lab developed the new product as a Java-based replacement.<ref>{{cite web|author=Rick DeNatale |title=Will It Go Round in Circles? |date=15 October 2008 |url=http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/articles/2008/10/15/will-it-go-round-in-circles |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081019055616/http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/articles/2008/10/15/will-it-go-round-in-circles |archive-date=19 October 2008}}</ref>{{Failed verification|date=October 2022}}
In November 2001, a consortium was formed with a board of stewards to further the development of Eclipse as [[open-source software]]. It is estimated that IBM had already invested nearly $40 million by that time.<ref>{{cite web|last=Milinkovich|first=Mike|title=IBM and Eclipse: A Decade of Software Innovation|url=http://asmarterplanet.com/blog/2011/11/ibm_and_eclipse_10_years.html|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120130055551/https://asmarterplanet.com/blog/2011/11/ibm_and_eclipse_10_years.html|archive-date=30 January 2012|access-date=3 November 2011|website=Building a Smarter Planet}}</ref> The original members were [[Borland]], [[IBM]], [[Micro Focus International|Merant]], [[QNX Software Systems]], [[Rational Software]], [[Red Hat]], [[SUSE S.A.|SuSE]], [[Borland Together|TogetherSoft]], and WebGain.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eclipse.org/org/#history|title=About the Eclipse Foundation: History of Eclipse|website=Eclipse|access-date=1 January 2014|archive-date=12 May 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190512040234/https://www.eclipse.org/org/#history|url-status=live}}</ref> The number of stewards increased to over 80 by the end of 2003. In January 2004, the [[Eclipse Foundation]] was created.<ref>{{cite web |title= About the Eclipse Foundation |url= http://www.eclipse.org/org |access-date= 13 August 2008 |publisher= The Eclipse Foundation |archive-date= 12 August 2008 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080812174401/http://www.eclipse.org/org/ |url-status= live }}</ref>

Eclipse 3.0 (released on 21 June 2004) selected the [[OSGi]] Service Platform specifications as the runtime architecture.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.eclipse.org/osgi/ |title= OSGi – the footings of the foundation of the platform |publisher=The Eclipse Foundation |access-date= 25 June 2008 |url-status= dead |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080613200302/http://www.eclipse.org/osgi/ |archive-date= 13 June 2008 |df= dmy-all }}</ref>

The [[Association for Computing Machinery]] recognized Eclipse with the 2011 [[ACM Software System Award]] on 26 April 2012.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.acm.org/press-room/news-releases/2012/technical-awards-2011 |title= ACM Honors Computing Innovators for Advances in Research, Education, and Industry |publisher=Association for Computing Machinery |access-date= 26 April 2012 |url-status= dead |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120429043542/http://www.acm.org/press-room/news-releases/2012/technical-awards-2011 |archive-date= 29 April 2012 |df= dmy-all }}</ref>

Recent releases of the Eclipse IDE have introduced support for the latest programming language standards, such as Java 23 and C++23, as well as usability enhancements including a refreshed light theme, improved code folding for Java, and updated C/C++ tooling based on the Clang compiler frontend.

===Licensing===
The [[Eclipse Public License]] (EPL) is the fundamental license under which Eclipse projects are released.<ref>{{cite web |title= Eclipse Public License |url= http://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/epl-v10.php |access-date= 24 February 2012 |archive-date= 17 February 2012 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120217160726/http://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/epl-v10.php |url-status= live }}</ref> Some projects require dual licensing, for which the Eclipse Distribution License (EDL) is available, although use of this license must be applied for and is considered on a case-by-case basis.

Eclipse was originally released under the [[Common Public License]], but was later re-licensed under the Eclipse Public License. The [[Free Software Foundation]] has said that both licenses are [[free software]] licenses, but are incompatible with the [[GNU General Public License]] (GPL).<ref>{{cite web |title= Various Licenses and Comments about Them |url= https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html |access-date= 20 May 2007 |date= 17 May 2007 |publisher= Free Software Foundation |archive-date= 16 July 2009 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090716201618/http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html |url-status= live }}</ref>

===Name===
According to Lee Nackman, [[Chief Technology Officer]] of IBM's [[Rational Software|Rational division]] (originating in 2003) at that time, the name "Eclipse" (dating from at least 2001) was not a wordplay on [[Sun Microsystems]], as the product's primary competition at the time of naming was [[Microsoft Visual Studio]], which ''Eclipse'' was to eclipse.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Application-Development/Eclipse-Behind-the-Name |title= Eclipse: Behind the Name |date= 20 May 2005 |access-date= 11 August 2008 |author= Darryl K. Taft |work= eWeek.com |publisher= Ziff Davis Enterprise Holdings |archive-date= 2 January 2013 |archive-url= https://archive.today/20130102122012/http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Application-Development/Eclipse-Behind-the-Name |url-status= live }}</ref>

Different versions of Eclipse have been given different science-related names. The versions named after [[Callisto (moon)|Callisto]], [[Europa (moon)|Europa]], and [[Ganymede (moon)|Ganymede]], which are moons of [[Jupiter]], were followed by a version named after [[Galileo]], the [[Galilean moons|discoverer]] of those moons. These were followed by two sun-themed names, [[Helios]] of Greek mythology, and [[Indigo]], one of the seven colors of a rainbow (which is produced by the sun). The version after that, Juno, has a triple meaning: a [[Juno (mythology)|Roman mythological figure]], an [[3 Juno|asteroid]], and a [[Juno (spacecraft)|spacecraft to Jupiter]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=336942#c22 |title=Naming Indigo +1 |last1=Sharma |first1=Ankur |date=14 February 2011 |website=Eclipse |access-date=4 July 2016 |archive-date=25 February 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170225055659/https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=336942#c22 |url-status=live }}</ref> [[Johannes Kepler|Kepler]], [[Moon|Luna]], and [[Mars]] continued the astronomy theme, and then [[Neon]] and [[Oxygen]] constituted a theme of [[chemical elements]]. [[Photon]] represented a return to sun-themed names.

{{As of|2018}}, the alphabetic scheme was abandoned in order to better align with the new Simultaneous Release strategy.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://jaxenter.com/eclipse-photon-wayne-beaton-interview-146150.html |title=An interview with Wayne Beaton, Director of Open Source Projects at the Eclipse Foundation: "Eclipse Photon marks the end of an era" |author=<!--Not stated--> |date=2018-06-28 |website=jaxenter.com |access-date=2019-09-16 |archive-date=2 January 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200102152241/https://jaxenter.com/eclipse-photon-wayne-beaton-interview-146150.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Releases are named in the format YYYY-MM to reflect the quarterly releases, starting with version 4.9 named 2018-09.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://wiki.eclipse.org/SimRel/Simultaneous_Release_Cycle_FAQ#What_is_the_naming_pattern_for_the_releases_.3F |title=Simultaneous Release FAQ |date=9 March 2018 |website=Eclipse |access-date=2 March 2019 |archive-date=6 March 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190306044048/https://wiki.eclipse.org/SimRel/Simultaneous_Release_Cycle_FAQ#What_is_the_naming_pattern_for_the_releases_.3F |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Releases===
Since 2006, the Foundation has coordinated an annual ''Simultaneous Release''.<ref name=":0">{{cite web|url=http://wiki.eclipse.org/Simultaneous_Release|title=Simultaneous Release|access-date=12 January 2018|archive-date=18 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180118015620/http://wiki.eclipse.org/Simultaneous_Release|url-status=live}}</ref> Each release includes the Eclipse Platform and several other Eclipse projects.

From 2008 through 2018, each Simultaneous Release had occurred on the 4th Wednesday of June. In 2018 the project switched to quarterly (13 week) '''YYYY-MM''' releases without intermediate service releases.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://wiki.eclipse.org/SimRel/Simultaneous_Release_Cycle_FAQ|title=SimRel/Simultaneous Release Cycle FAQ|access-date=15 March 2019|archive-date=6 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190306044048/https://wiki.eclipse.org/SimRel/Simultaneous_Release_Cycle_FAQ|url-status=live}}</ref>
