[dsdp-pmc] RE: new eclipse users use it for embedded applications

  "New users to Eclipse seem to be using projects in the embedded 
   and mobile area. For those individuals with less than 1 year of 
   experience, 29% are developing embedded software and 17% mobile 
   client applications, as compared to 12% and 8% for those with more 
   than 3 years of experience."

I think this can be explained by the fact that 3 yeas ago there
was no DSDP......
