How Eclipse Independence Will Affect Developers

Posted by timothy on from the whiter-whites-and-brighter-brights dept.

An anonymous reader writes "There's an interesting article on O'Reilly's OSDir site, with John Weigand, and Skip "former chairman" McGaughey, on what moving Eclipse away from IBM's sole clutches will mean for we ordinary developers. It's interesting to hear a more ground-floor account of this vs the usual "Big XXX Company joined Eclipse today PRs.""

  1. GNUclipse anybody? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    The GNUclipse Project has been around for a few years now, and is almost at the point where it could replace Eclipse 100%.

    The only 2 things left to implement are VEP and EMF add-ins, and Eclipse won't be useful to me.

    I highly suggest you check it out if you want an amazing OSS IDE/visual editor.
