history

Project history and usage

Eclipse IDE for Eclipse Committers is the Eclipse Packaging Project's self-hosting distribution for contributors who develop Eclipse projects and plug-ins.

Project history

Eclipse began as IBM technology and was released as open source in November 2001; the Eclipse Foundation became its independent steward in 2004.

The Eclipse Packaging Project was created in 2007 to assemble purpose-specific downloads. Its Committers profile, built as `epp.package.committers`, layers PDE, JDT, Git, Marketplace support, sources, and developer documentation on the Eclipse Platform.

Adoption history

The Committers edition is maintained by the Eclipse Packaging Project as an audience-specific Eclipse distribution. It is used in Eclipse contributor setup instructions because it bundles source code, developer documentation, PDE, Git integration, and other tools useful for working across Eclipse projects.

How it is used

It is used for contributing to Eclipse itself, developing and debugging plug-ins, browsing platform sources, and working with Git-hosted Eclipse projects. Its broader toolset also makes it suitable for advanced RCP and Java development.

Why package nerds care

This is the self-hosting flavor of Eclipse: an Eclipse-based IDE packaged specifically to develop Eclipse. It is also a useful example of how the EPP build turns the same simultaneous-release repository into distinct, reproducible products.
