[GUFSC] construtor de IDEs

[Ricardo Grutzmaher]

Esta dica veio, mais uma vez, do Prof. Fröhlich do depto. de informática.

O software ECLISPE pode ser usado como um poderoso IDE configurável. Com 
ECLIPSE pode-se construir IDEs gráficas e poderosas com grande 
facilidade e tempo reduzido.

Os pontos fortes são a boa documentação do software e a disponibilidade 
de diversos plugins de IDEs para diversas linguagens.

Este software está sendo usado na UFSC pelo Lab. integração 
software-hardware.

    1.  What is the Eclipse Project?

       The Eclipse Project is an open source software development 
project dedicated to providing a robust, full-featured, 
commercial-quality, industry platform for the development of highly 
integrated tools. It is composed of three subprojects, Platform, JDT - 
Java development tools, and PDE - Plug-in development environment. The 
success of the Eclipse Platform depends on how well it enables a wide 
range of tool builders to build best of breed integrated tools. But the 
real vision of eclipse as an industry platform is only realized if these 
tools from different tool builders can be combined together by users to 
suit their unique requirements, in ways that the tool builders never 
even imagined. The mission of the Eclipse Project is to adapt and evolve 
the Eclipse Platform and associated tools to meet the needs of the tool 
building community and its users, so that the vision of eclipse as an 
industry platform is realized.


    2. What is the Eclipse Platform?

       The Eclipse Platform is an open extensible IDE for anything and 
yet nothing in particular. The Eclipse Platform provides building blocks 
and a foundation for constructing and running integrated 
software-development tools. The Eclipse Platform allows tool builders to 
independently develop tools that integrate with other people's tools so 
seamlessly you can't tell where one tool ends and another starts.


    3. What is the Eclipse SDK?

       The Eclipse SDK (software developer kit) is the consolidation of 
the components produced by the three Eclipse Project subprojects 
(Platform, JDT - Java development tools, and PDE - Plug-in development 
environment) into a single download.

       Together these pieces provide a feature-rich development 
environment that allows the developer to efficiently create tools that 
integrate seamlessly into the Eclipse Platform.
