The Eclipse Workbench is an open source platform, designed by IBM and released to the open
source community. It is an open, portable, universal tooling platform that provides frameworks,
services and tools for building tools.
In essence the workbench provides the tool infrastructure. With this infrastructure in place, the
tool builders are able to focus on the actual building of their tools. The workbench has been
designed for maximum flexibility to support the development of tools for new technologies
that may merge in the future.
Industry leaders Borland, IBM, Merchant, QNX Software Systems, Rational Software, RedHat, SuSE,
TogetherSoft, and WebGain formed the initial eclipse.org board of directors and began work on the
Eclipse open source project.
