John, You are right about the Java and web (services, etc.) focus. I know you're question is not security-based, and I'm sorry for the second company mention of the night, but FYI, @stake recently did a comparison recently on the security features of J2EE and Microsoft .NET. The J2EE platform was represented by RHAS 2.1, Solaris 9, WebSphere 5, DB2, and Eclipse. The MS side was represented by Windows Server 2003, IIS/ASP.NET, and SQL Server.
I led the platform comparison component of the review (i.e. comparison of base OS, www, and app server security), and the results are kind of interesting. For those with interest in these sorts of things, the report is online at http://www.atstake.com/research/reports/eval_ms_ibm/. As far as Eclipse goes, to me it seems focused on the enterprise dev market (i.e. sw dev houses, large internal teams). If you are looking for a full-featured IDE and are a java guy, give it a look. If you are a vi or emacs (yikes!) guy, it will probably be overkill. I'll shut up for now. Jason >Has anyone used eclipse or contributed to the >project etc?
