The Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT) Project - open source and extensible tools and frameworks for easily incorporating reporting functions within applications.

The Eclipse Data Tools Platform- provides extensible frameworks and exemplary tools, enabling a diverse set of plug-in offerings specific to particular data-centric technologies and supported by the DTP ecosystem.

The intent of this project is to extend the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) to embedded devices. eRCP is largely a set of components which are subsets of RCP components. It enables the same application model used on desktop machines to be used on devices. Additional features help applications adapt to running on the large variety of mobile devices.

Mobile Tools for the Java Platform - Project Mobile Tools for the Java Platform project creates tools and frameworks to extend eclipse platform to support mobile device Java application development.

The Target Management project creates data models and frameworks to configure and manage remote systems, their connections, and their services. Our main offering is the Remote System Explorer (RSE), which is also part of the yearly Eclipse release train. It integrates any sort of heterogeneous remote resources under a single, consistent UI and allows transparent working on remote computers just like the local one. Besides that, it also provides access to remote file systems for other projects to consume via the Eclipse Filesystem (EFS). As a stand-alone offering, the project also provides a lightweight Terminal view. More about target management »

The EMF project is 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, EMF provides tools and runtime support to produce a set of Java classes for the model, along with a set of adapter classes that enable viewing and command-based editing of the model, and a basic editor. EMF builds include XML Schema Definition (XSD), now a component of the Model Development Tools (MDT) project, and an EMF-based implementation of Service Data Objects (SDO). XSD provides a model and API for manipulating components of an XML Schema, with access to the underlying DOM representation of the schema document. Other subprojects, such as Model Query, Model Transaction, and Validation Framework, are available separately. The next release of EMF is scheduled for the end of June 2010, along with the rest of the Helios projects.

The Eclipse Graphical Modeling Project (GMP) provides a set of generative components and runtime infrastructures for developing graphical editors based on EMF and GEF.

The UML2 project (an Eclipse Tools sub-project) is an EMF-based implementation of the UML™ 2.x metamodel for the Eclipse platform. The objectives of this project are to provide a useable implementation of the metamodel to support the development of modeling tools, a common XMI schema to facilitate interchange of semantic models, test cases as a means of validating the specification, and validation rules as a means of defining and enforcing levels of compliance.

Tools Services Framework (Corona) Corona is about tool integration. It Corona will enable Eclipse constructs, such as a "project", to be shared in a distributed environment. Corona will provide an Eclipse based server-side runtime environment that will provide web service access to allow manageability to SOA components deploy within Corona.

Eclipse Communication Framework (ECF) ECF is a framework for building distributed servers, applications, and tools. It provides a modular implementation of the OSGi 4.2 Remote Services standard, along with support for REST-based and SOAP-based remote services, and asynchronous messaging for remote services.

Process Framework (EPF) The Process Framework (EPF) aims at producing a customizable software process enginering framework, with exemplary process content and tools, supporting a broad variety of project types and development styles.

Higgins Trust Framework This project is developing an extensible, platform-independent, identity protocol-independent, software framework to support existing and new applications that give users more convenience, privacy and control over their identity information.

AspectJ Development Tools Some aspects of system implementation, such as logging, error handling, standards enforcement and feature variations are notoriously difficult to implement in a modular way. The result is that code is tangled across a system and leads to quality, productivity and maintenance problems. Aspect Oriented Software Development enables the clean modularization of these crosscutting concerns. The AspectJ Development Tools (AJDT) project provides Eclipse platform based tool support for AOSD with AspectJ. Our goal is to deliver a user experience that is consistent with the Java Development Tools (JDT) when working with AspectJ projects and resources.

C/C++ IDE The CDT (C/C++ Development Tools) Project provides a fully functional C and C++ Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for the Eclipse platform. Our focus is development on Linux for deployment on Linux, but we are interested in participation from others who would like to extend our work in other directions (e.g. a Windows client, targeting Unix(R) or embedded platforms, wizards for developing applications that use particular library or database or messaging APIs, or extension to other languages). We are looking for contributions from the open source community in the areas of testers, developers and general users who can help us ensure that the C/C++ tools work well on all the Eclipse platforms and compiler environments.

PDT The PDT project is working towards providing a fully functional PHP Integrated Development Environment framework for the Eclipse platform. This project will encompass all development components necessary to develop PHP-based Web Applications and will facilitate extensibility. It will leverage the existing Web Tools Project in providing developers with PHP capabilities.

The Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP) project extends the Eclipse platform with tools for developing Web and Java EE applications. It includes source and graphical editors for a variety of languages, wizards and built-in applications to simplify development, and tools and APIs to support deploying, running, and testing apps.

The Eclipse Modeling Framework Technology (EMFT) project exists to incubate new technologies that extend or complement EMF. For IP log information see the IP Log.

Model-to-Text (M2T) Project The Model-to-Text project provides infrastructure and tooling for generating text (usually program code) from models. The project includes implementations of three model-to-text languages: JET (orginally from EMF), XPand (originally from openArchitectureWare) and MTL (implementing the OMG MOF Model to Text standard). The project's primary framework provides for invoking model-to-text solutions independently of implementation language. Finally, the project provides shared infrastructure for implementing model-to-text languages and associated tools.

Device Debugging Project Device Debugging builds the Debugger Services Framework (DSF), an framework implementation of the new Eclipse Debug Model Interfaces first released in Eclipse 3.2. DSF is intended to be extended by commercial vendors for commerical debug solution. DD also includes a sample implementation of DSF using the GDB debuger. In addition to these technologies, DD includes a traditional embedded memory rendering for the Eclipse Memory View and an XML editor used for editing IP-XACT hardware description files produced by members of the SPIRIT consortium.

Sequoyah Project Sequoyah project's purpose is to be focused on the needs of all mobile developers. Inheriting components from TmL, MTJ and Pulsar projects, Sequoyah intends to remove the artificial barriers of Linux and Java in order to provide a home for all Eclipse mobile developers.

Dynamic Languages Toolkit (DLTK) Dynamic Languages Toolkit is a tool for vendors, researchers, and end-users who rely on dynamic languages. DLTK is comprised of a set of extensible frameworks designed to reduce the complexity of building full featured development environments for dynamic languages such as PHP and Perl. Besides a set of frameworks DLTK provides exemplary Tcl, Ruby, and Python Integrated Development Environments ready to use out of the box.

The Eclipse SOA Tools Platform Project - STP is an open source collaborative software development project dedicated to providing a generic, extensible, standards-based tool platform for producing Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) applications.

The Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) provides technology to create rich graphical editors and views for the Eclipse Workbench UI.
