List of Eclipse projects

Top-level sub-projects

• Eclipse Platform is the core framework that all other Eclipse projects are built on.
• Java development tools (JDT) provides support for core Java SE. This includes a standalone fast incremental compiler.
• Plug-in Development Environment (PDE) provides tools to create, develop, test, debug, build and deploy Eclipse plug-ins, fragments, features, update sites and RCP products.
• Orion, CHE, Dirigible and Theia are browser-based IDEs and open tool integration platform which is entirely focused on developing for the web, in the web. Tools are written in JavaScript and run in the browser.
• Oniro is an Open Source software platform, having an operating system, standard APIs and basic applications.

Tools

The following sub-projects are located under the Tools sub-project:

• Buckminster adds support for Component Assemblies.
• C/C++ Development Tools (CDT) adds support for C/C++ syntax highlighting, code formatting, debugger integration and project structures. Unlike the JDT project, the CDT project does not add a compiler and relies on an external tool chain.
• Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) allows developers to build standalone graphical tools. Example use include circuit diagram design tools, activity diagram editors and WYSIWYG document editors.
• PHP Development Tools (PDT)
• Parallel Tools Platform (PTP) adds support for parallel and high-performance computing development, analysis, run/monitoring, debugging, and performance analysis.
• WindowBuilder is a bi-directional Java GUI designer.

Projects requiring an older version of the Eclipse platform:

• AspectJ Development Tools (AJDT) adds support for the AspectJ Java extensions. AJDT require Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede).

Modeling

The following sub-projects are located under the Modeling sub-project:

• Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF), a modeling framework and code generation facility for building tools and other applications based on a structured data model, from a model specification described in XMI.
• Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF) is a generative component and runtime infrastructure for developing graphical editors based on EMF and GEF.
• Acceleo, an Open Source code generator that uses EMF based models to generate any textual language (Java, PHP, Python, etc.).
• Sirius, an Open Source project to create custom graphical modeling workbenches by leveraging the Eclipse Modeling technologies, including EMF and GMF.
• eTrice, an implementation of the Real-Time Object-Oriented Modeling language ROOM for event driven real-time software systems.
• Vorto, standardization of information models which are an abstraction of a physical, real-world device.
• Eclipse Papyrus Papyrus is an industrial-grade open source Model-Based Engineering tool. Papyrus has notably been used successfully in industrial projects and is the base platform for several industrial modeling tools.

Technology

The following sub-projects are located under the Technology sub-project:

• Eclipse Scout is a framework for implementing multitier business applications based on the Eclipse platform.
• Eclipse SUMO is a free and open traffic simulation toolsuite.
• g-Eclipse provides a middleware independent framework and exemplary implementations for users, developers, and administrators accessing Computing Grids.
• Subversive — SVN Team Provider is aimed at providing Subversion support similar to that previously provided for CVS.

Other

• Application Lifecycle Framework, a closed project
• Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools Project (BIRT), an Eclipse-based open source reporting system for web applications, especially those based on Java EE.
• Data Tools Platform Project (DTP) provides relational database connectivity and SQL design tools.
• Mylyn is a task-focused interface for Eclipse combining a task manager that integrates with bug trackers (such as Bugzilla, Trac and JIRA) and version control software with dynamic code filtering.
• Test and Performance Tools Platform (TPTP) which provides a platform that allows software developers to build test and performance tools, such as debuggers, profilers and benchmarking applications.
• Web Standard Tools (WST) adds standards compliant web development tools. These tools include editors for XML, HTML and CSS.
• Mihini, an embedded runtime running on top of Linux, that exposes high-level Lua API for building M2M applications. Mihini aims at enabling easy and portable development, by facilitating access to the I/Os of an M2M system, providing a communication layer, etc.
