  • Multi-language/dynamic languages support in Eclipse
  • Web tools, including Web services and Java EE applications

  • Real-time collaborative development using Eclipse Collaboration Framework
  • How to build plug-ins using the plug-in development environment
  • How to build rich clients using the Rich Client Platform
  • How to bring your rich client application into a Web browser using Rich Ajax Platform
