Hi, Im a University Student in London, UK

On Thursday i will be doing a group presentation on an IDE. We have
decided to use Eclipse. Some things i am looking to must cover are:

Who uses Eclipse? (which companies etc - are there any specific companies
who use this wonderful tool)

And

What do they use it for? again im looking for specific details here, is
there a reason someone would choose Eclipse to develop tools over other
programs that are out there. ie what makes eclipse stand out over other
tools.

Thankyou for your help.

Two of the three developers in my company use it. The other uses
jBuilder because he's used to it. I had never used a java IDE before,
so a free one was a logical place to start.

It's free, functional and fairly easy to learn, even with no formal
training.

www.eclipse.org has all the answers you need. Count IBM among those
companies.
