Quick question on eclipse... [message #91307] Mon, 01 August 2005 12:44 Go to next message

Hi everyone,

Could someone tell me, is the eclipse IDE made entirely in java? If not,
what other languages are used primarily? If there's loads then don't worry
about it. I'm just interested in the main languages.

Thanks all

Kindest Regards

99+% of Eclipse is pure Java. The only native (C/C++) part is a very
thin layer of SWT (the Eclipse platform widget rendering toolkit) that
is platform-dependent (the part that interfaces with native widgets).
that part is what is different between Eclipse on different platforms
(windows, Linux, Mac OSX, Solaris)
