Java Eclipse isn't a single monolithic program, but rather a small kernel called a plug-in loader surrounded by hundreds (and potentially thousands) of plug-ins. In this chapter Eric Clayberg and Dan Rubel give you a more in-depth understanding of Eclipse and its structure in relation to creating plug-ins.

Are you some kind of idiot?

A) Sun has nothing to do with Eclipse. They don't support (they don't even seem to like it).

B) Your random complaints include Sun, which sounds like you think this is Swing-based. Eclipse uses your native underlying windowing tool kit for the most part (GDI on Windows, GTK on Linux, etc).

Get a clue.

Eclipse was originally developed by IBM. Sun had nothing to do with it.

Nope, Sun had nothing to do with Eclipse.
IBM created it as an attack on the development tools of Sun (NetBeans?) i think.
Think about the name "Eclipse" and what it looks like as a natural phenomenon.
Hint: Solar Eclipse ;)

That's great ! I've never noticed it :-)

Anyway, yes: Sun is supporting NetBeans and it is also distribuiting in bundle with the SDK (aaltought only as an option)
