   "...Written in Java, Eclipse is an ambitious attempt
    to create a modular development platform that all kinds of
    developer tools for all kinds of languages can eventually use.
    IBM is building all of its WebSphere development tools
    (see "Sidebar 1: Eclipse, VisualAge, WebSphere: What Does It
    All Mean?") upon Eclipse, but the company aspires to build an
    ecology of products -- even those competing with IBM -- upon
    what it hopes to become an industry-standard platform.    (01)
