Eclipse is an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) to develop software and can run on all platforms (platform-independent).
Here is the trait of Eclipse :
- Multi-Platform : The target of the Eclipse operating system is Microsoft Windows, Linux, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX and Mac OS X.
- Multi-language : Eclipse is developed with Java programming language, but Eclipse supports application development based on other programming languages, such as C / C ++, Cobol, Python, Perl, PHP, and others.
- Multi-role : In addition to being an IDE for application development, Eclipse can also be used for activities in software development cycles, such as documentation, software testing, web development, and more.
