 Hi, 
  
if you 
talk about "Eclipse on embedded Systems" I suppose that you refer to eRCP as 
that is the embedded arm of the Eclipse project. The Java part of eRCP is 
supposed to run on J2ME CDC/FP environments and in that perspective the the 
question of platform support breaks down to the availablity of a VM. In other 
words, once you have a CDC/FP compatible VM for your target system, you will be 
able to run the non-native parts of eRCP. 
  
The 
available CDC VMs already cover a large variety of embedded platforms. you will 
find implementation for CPU cores like ARM, x86, MIPS or PowerPC as well as 
operating systems such as Linux, Windows CE, VxWorks, QNX etc. 
 
  
As far 
as the native Eclipse components are concerned (eg. eSWT / SWT implementations), 
life is a little harder and platform support requires more porting efforts. So 
far, only those platforms published on the Eclipse sites are supported 
officially. I assume that for eRCP/eSWT the variety will grow over 
time. 
  
Regards, 
Jo 
  
  
  
  
  
  Hello, 
    
  I am developing software for 
  embedded systems (8051, ARMs and DSPs) and I am evaluating 
  Eclipse. 
    
  So far I haven’t found any 
  information about using Eclipse with different target microprocessors. Has 
  anyone of you experience with Eclipse and embedded systems? Any good starting 
  point? 
    
  Any help is 
  appreciated, 
    
  regards 
    
  MEF
