Today, I saw an article on ADTMAG.com, and it was said that Eclipse had a very big impact on the IDE market, but it is not the killer of commercial IDE. As I came on the Eclipse Con 2005, I've said that the emergence of Eclipse said that the emergence of Eclipse is to provide a platform that has been widely recognized and accepted, and then everyone will develop truly on this basis. Meet the product of the specific needs of the market, competition with Visual Studio, rather than in the bottom end for some of the functional points of different developers generally need to make each other, repeated construction. Such traditional IDE providers can try to see an angle to see Eclipse: We can develop higher value on a relatively mature benchmark platform. The article also mentioned how some companies such as Borland respond to the existence of Eclipse.
