We joined the Eclipse IDE Working Group because it is a great way to get proactively involved in the IDE and make contributions to keep the platform active and thriving. The Eclipse IDE Working Group enables Renesas to more easily make a contribution when we have limited committers working on the projects that we use. Sponsoring the working group also gives us an avenue to further contribute and invest in these projects. The Eclipse IDE Working Group gives us insight into the future direction of the IDE and gives us the opportunity to influence the future plans which will affect our own commercial product and business interest. - Mark Goodchild, at Renesas Sigasi has been a proud user, contributor, and consumer of Eclipse IDE for over 15 years. We’ve built our legacy with the IDE through JDT’s great Java support, and have been building our flagship Sigasi Studio IDE on the Eclipse platform. The IDE - in combination with many other great Eclipse technologies such as EMF and Xtext - has propelled us forward and gave us a tried and tested framework to build upon. The IDE is well known, supported, loved, and used in our sector and is the baseline of our product suite. - Titouan Vervack, at Sigasi Our goal is to make Spring developers around the world as productive as possible when working with Spring in the IDE of their choice. Hundreds of thousands of them use Eclipse and the Spring Tools extensions for Eclipse for their daily work. It is their backbone while working on (oftentimes business critical) Spring applications world-wide. We joined the Eclipse IDE WG in order to contribute back to the ecosystem, to support ongoing development of the Eclipse IDE, and to foster collaboration among others with similar interest in this IDE. - Martin Lippert, at VMware Stay connected with Eclipse Projects Sign up for our newsletter Subscribe Support for Latest Java Supports Java 26 and provides the necessary tooling for development.
