Ant-Eclipse is a task for the Java build tool Ant generating Eclipse projects to be just imported and used easily. Ant build scripts are used as a central place for the configuration of sources and libraries which the generated projects are based on.
The most usual way to develop a software is to write, run and debug the source code in an IDE. However, as long as the first source files are compilable the software finds its way into a package and it must be possible to compile it, run it and test it in other environments where the IDE is not available. Build tools used for this job usually cannot read the project files where IDEs store information about packages and sometimes there are more IDEs used by developers. It seems obvious that the build tool needs its own description of the package.
Keeping the package configuration on two places is more error-prone and looking for errors caused by diffrerences in these configurations can cost much time when the error occur first during the run-time of an application.
It is allways the better to keep the configuration on a single place and not to maintain its copies on more places. If there are more tools used for the development one of them should be chosen as the owner and provider of the package configuration. The others have to base ther configuration on this central one either by using it directly or by refreshing their one if the central one changes.
Which tool is the best one for keeping the package configuration? It depends on the package and the development process. The most important tool is usually the one which automates compiling packaging and running tests because it produces the final package to be delivered to end-users. This automated production usually runs unattendedly reporting results from processing the current source code base. The configuration of this tool can be taken as the source for all the others.
Ant is the most favourite build tool for projects written in the Java language. Eclipse with JDT is a state-of-the-art IDE for Java developers. Unfortunately, Eclipse cannot use Ant build scripts to base configuration of its projects on them. Ant can be run from the Eclipse IDE but the configuration is kept separately.
Ant-Eclipse automates the task of creating an Eclipse project making the developer to write an automated build script as the first thing and to generate an Eclipse project from it whenever it changes. It keeps the Eclipse project always up-to-date with the last changes in the build script. This project refreshing is usually automated when more developers are working on a software project. They have to synchronize regularly their workspace with a central source code repository to integrate changes made by the others. This usually involves:
Synchronizing the source code with a central repository.
Updating the binary dependencies (libraries) from a central depot.
Generating resources (files) dependent on the environment (time and place where it runs) like build numbers, package manifests and so on.
The regeneration of Eclipse projects fits exactly to the last phase of such sychronizing process. This is the recommended usage of the Ant-Eclipse task.
A formerly existing Eclipse project will be overwritten if a new one is to be generated. Files for an Eclipse project are not generated if they exist and they are not older than the Ant build script (the Ant build script has not been changed). This update can be forced, however.
Enhancements:
- The tool has been used for over a year, and is considered a stable version.

Tiny Eclipse project was created to provide small and easy to install distributions of Eclipse.
Main features:
- Small download size
- Cross-platform GUI installer(current only for win32 & linux-gtk)
- You can choose the features you want to install.
Enhancements:
- This is based on the Eclipse 3.3 code base.

EasyEclipse Plugin Warrior is for development of Eclipse Plugins.
This distro contains the basic elements needed to work on Eclipse Plugins, either developing new ones or debuggin/editing existing ones. Over time, we will add more to it (releng, RCP DeltaPack), but for now it is relatively light - when you are a warrior, you pack lightly ;-).
This distribution includes the following plugins:
Core components with a JDK:
- Eclipse Platform 3.2.1 - Shared platform services from Eclipse.
- Eclipse Tools 3.2.1 - Common libraries for various Eclipse projects.
- Java JDK for Windows 1.5.0.09 - Run Java application on Sun Java(tm) runtime, packaged for Eclipse use. (Windows only)
- Java JDK for Linux 1.5.0.09 - Run Java application on Sun Java(tm) runtime, packaged for Eclipse use. (Linux only)
Tools for general Java development:
- Eclipse Java Development Tools 3.2.1 - Edit, compile, run, debug, test, refactor, document and deploy Java applications.
Some essential utilities:
- AnyEdit Tools 1.5.6.2 - Useful right-click menus in editors: "Open file under cursor", "Open type under cursor", et cetera.
- Eclipse Utils Plugins 1.0.0.1 - Save the cursor position of editors when closing and re-opening a file. Access common team actions with explorer buttons.
- Color Editor 1.2.4 - Edit with syntax highlighting over 100+ file formats.
Tools for development of Eclipse Plugins and Eclipse-based (RCP) applications:
- Plugin Development Environment 3.2.1 - Develop, test, debug, build and deploy Eclipse plugins and rich client applications.
- Eclipse Modeling Tools 3.2.1 - Adds the Modeling wizards and User Interface to the Eclipse Tools.
- Source code for the Eclipse Platform and Java Development Kit 3.2.1 - The source code for the Platform and Java Development Kit, as well as some documentation on writing Eclipse plugins.
- Eclipse Visual Editor 1.2.1 - Build visual user interfaces for Swing, SWT and Eclipse RCP applications with a graphical editor. (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X only)

Eclipse Wikipedia Editor Plugin is an Eclipse editor for the Wikipedia syntax. The project features syntax highlighting, source folding, outlining, uploading and downloading to and from the Web, and more.
Enhancements:
- It is now possible to add an extra "domain" entry into the login with the wpDomain name entry (this can be helpful for authentication in an extranet configuration with LDAP support).
- The refresh mechanisms of the internal wiki browser preview have changed.
- Every time you click into a new wiki editor, save the wikipedia text, or use a file with extension *.wp in the Eclipse package explorer, the browser views the rendered HTML output from the corresponding file in the /wpbin subdirectory.

Eclipse FieldViewer is a structured viewer component that displays data entry fields for model objects in a user defined, form based layout.
Eclipse FieldViewer is similar to the TableViewer component from JFace. Eclipse Fieldviewer separates the model from viewers in a similar way using Content- and Labelproviders to bind the data to the fields of the viewer. A Fieldviewer can display an array of similar elements. Unlike a tableviewer only a single element is shown at a time. The layout of the fields is not predefined as in a tableviewer.
This widget can be used in software using other JFace components (eg RCP applications).
Main features:
- interface similar to that of a JFace-TableViewer()
- ContentProvider(), LabelProvider() and Font-/ColorProvider()
- fields can display text and/or image
- ViewerSorter() and ViewerFilter()
- semi-automatic layout for simple requirements
- fully configurable layout of fields if necessary
- editable fields using standard CellEditors
Unlike a table viewer the Eclipse Fieldviewer is not a widget that has very unique features by itself. An experienced programmer can easily create the fields from scratch or use a tool for this task.
An Eclipse Fieldviewer widget is nice if you have to display data from a database where the user decides which element to display. It is also very well suited if you combine a Tableviewer()/TreeViewer() with a FieldViewer() and the user can decide how he wants the data displayed. Editable fields in these widgets use CellEditors to change the contents of the underlying model so the corresponding code can be reused and is not specifically tied to a single field.
