Eclipse IDE

Our July newsletter includes a breakdown of new Eclipse IDE features, a feature on the evolution of Eclipse Dirigible, and the latest news from the Eclipse Community.

A year ago, the Eclipse Foundation launched Eclipse IDE Working Group. Eclipse Foundation Executive Director Mike Milinkovich shares some of the community's successes since the launch in his new blog.

To help us celebrate 20 years of the Eclipse IDE, we reached out to some of the community members who use and contribute to the platform to find out why they got involved, what they’ve learned so far, and what they expect for the future.

Today the Eclipse project and the Eclipse Foundation are shipping Eclipse IDE 2021‑12, the latest in a string of releases that go back to November 2001. How better to mark its 20th anniversary than to celebrate another release!

The latest Eclipse IDE release includes EGit and platform improvements. Download the leading open platform for professional developers.

According to its charter, the working group establishes and drives funding, oversees the release plan, coordinates the simultaneous releases, helps to grow and evolve the ecosystem and Eclipse Marketplace, and provides governance for related open source projects.

By providing governance, guiding, and funding, the structure is meant to “ensure the continued evolution, adoption, and sustainability of the Eclipse IDE suite of products, related technologies, and ecosystem.”

The latest Eclipse IDE release includes improvements and features like an improved embedded terminal and support for Mac AArch64. Download the leading open platform for professional developers.

The Eclipse 2021-03 release train has reached the station with version 4.19 of the Eclipse IDE in tow, which fits the development environment with a whole bunch of code clean-up options and helpers to get going with Java 16.

It is now possible to code, build, debug and flash directly on a Raspberry Pi 4!
