Project history and usage
Eclipse IDE for Java and DSL Developers is the Eclipse Packaging Project's preassembled distribution for Java developers and creators of domain-specific languages, notably users of Xtext and Xtend.
Project history
Eclipse originated at IBM and its source was published in November 2001. The Eclipse Foundation became its independent, vendor-neutral steward in 2004.
The Eclipse Packaging Project was created in 2007 to define entry-level download profiles and released its first 1.0 series in 2008. The Java and DSL profile is built by that project as the `epp.package.dsl` product from the quarterly Eclipse Simultaneous Release.
Adoption history
The DSL edition is one of the curated Eclipse Packaging Project profiles assembled from the Eclipse Simultaneous Release. It gives language-tooling developers a ready-made installation instead of requiring them to assemble Java, Xtend, Xtext, Git, XML, and Maven components individually.
How it is used
It is commonly used to develop Java applications and define textual languages with Xtext and Xtend. The distribution also includes source-control, XML, and Maven integration, while Eclipse's plug-in system permits further language and build tooling to be installed.
Why package nerds care
This package demonstrates Eclipse's distribution model: one extensible platform is materialized as audience-specific products from declarative EPP profiles. Package maintainers care about it as a reproducible, cross-platform bundle of tightly coordinated plug-ins.
