Cnet has a story on how the Eclipse IDE is now 5 years old, and has a huge impact on the development process as well as proving how successful open source can be.
Eclipse is my tool of choice, and I’ve been using it for a few years now, whilst I only use a few of the features I do find it to be an incredibly easy platform to use, and the fact that it lets me get on with coding without getting in the way of my coding just fits the way I like to work, like using MacOSX.
