Today, the Eclipse community celebrates five years as an open source project. Eclipse has grown from its roots as a Java IDE project to become a universal development platform for building and deploying software. There are now 66 open source projects at Eclipse, generating millions of downloads. It is estimated that more than 1,300 Eclipse based products are now available.

Eclipse is getting ready to celebrate its 5th birthday on November 7th. To celebrate, a number of activities are being organized for the Eclipse community.

We are re-designing the eclipse.org home page. The intention is to make it easier for our user community to find relevant information about the Eclipse projects and also make it easier to download.

Right now we have a beta version of the home page that will be displayed on a random basis to about 25% of the home page visitors. We have also opened a bug to collect feedback. Please let us know what you like and dislike about the home page.

Congratulations to all the winners!
