Hi.
Being new to Eclipse, I'm trying to get an understanding as to what
Eclipse is/isn't. I've reviewed some of the documentation regarding
Eclipse, but I'm still confused. Is it really a development platform that
can be used by multiple developers for distributed software development,
or is it another IDE?
Baiscally, I'm looking for a platform that would support software
development by a distributed team. Something similar to
Collabnet/Sourcecast. Any help/pointers/comments would be greatly
appreciated!!!
Thanks

When we talk about Eclipse as a "development platform" we mean that it
provides building blocks (API) on which you can build applications.
It sounds like what you're looking for isn't API, but a finished
collaborative-development program.
The Eclipse SDK (a set of plug-ins build on the Eclipse Platform) provides
some basic collaborative development features in the Team plug-ins, most
notably CVS support.
If you want more than source control management, Eclipse's answer would be a
3rd-party collaborative development plug-in. The only plug-in like this
that I'm aware of appears to be in the planning stage:
http://www.eclipse.org/koi/
Hope that helps,

Hi,
Eclipse is an IDE like any other. It's just very nice. Has great wizards for
refactoring, and integrates JUnit.
Regarding distributed developement.
It has nice GUI-support for CVS. That's it!
Some features-to-come look very promising. Ask Google about "Stellation" and
"Insectivore".
