Eclipse

Eclipse Classic

So, Eclipse Classic yeah, it's basically the Swiss Army knife for devs who want to mess around with Eclipse tech. You wanna build an IDE? Go for it. Or maybe you're keen on spinning up a chunky client app using the whole Eclipse Rich Client Platform thing? It's all baked in. No need to chase down extra bits and pieces it's all here.

Core Features and Availability

Java editing? Oh, Eclipse Classic eats that for breakfast. You get this wild incremental compiler that just keeps up as you type, plus the whole Plug in Development Environment (PDE) if you're into extending stuff. And check this out: you can dig into the full Eclipse Platform source code if you're feeling brave or just wanna see what's under the hood. Heads up though, this edition only comes in a 32 bit flavor. Old school, but hey, it works.
