    Eclipse (software) 1 Eclipse (software) Eclipse Screenshot of Eclipse 3.6 Developer(s) Free and open source software community Stable release 3.6.2 Helios / 25 February 2011 Preview release 3.7M6 / 10 March 2011 Development status Active Written in Java Operating system Cross-platform: Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, Windows Platform Java SE, Standard Widget Toolkit Available in Multilingual Type Software development License Eclipse Public License Website [1] Eclipse is a multi-language software development environment comprising an integrated development environment (IDE) and an extensible plug-in system. It is written mostly in Java and can be used to develop applications in Java and, by means of various plug-ins, other programming languages including Ada, C, C++, COBOL, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby (including Ruby on Rails framework), Scala, Clojure, and Scheme. The IDE is often called Eclipse ADT for Ada, Eclipse CDT for C/C++, Eclipse JDT for Java, and Eclipse PDT for PHP. The initial codebase originated from VisualAge.[2] In its default form it is meant for Java developers, consisting of the Java Development Tools (JDT). Users can extend its abilities by installing plug-ins written for the Eclipse software framework, 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 is free and open source software. It was one of the first IDEs to run under GNU Classpath and it runs without issues under IcedTea. Eclipse (software) 2 Architecture Eclipse employs plug-ins in order to provide all of its functionality on top of (and including) the runtime system, in contrast to some other applications where functionality is typically hard coded.

That is why when you install Java a notification and warning window appears. All versions of Java from 8 u201 onwards not intended for personal use are payable. For this reason, we suggest you do not update Java 8 to a newer version for work purposes. If you want a newer version of Java 8, install OpenJDK 8 and IcedTea. Also, do not install Java 8 on new computers (clients), but install OpenJDK 8 with IcedTea support. 2 OpenJDK distribution OpenJDK 1.8. build for Windows and Linux is available at the link https://github.com/ojdkbuild/ojdkbuild. There you will find versions for the installation.
