Eclipse Readies Windows Alternative
The Eclipse open-source software foundation next week plans to release software that will offer developers an alternative to Windows for delivering desktop applications.
Source: ZDNetEclipse 3.0, which is freely available software aimed at Java programmers, includes tools for building and running so-called rich-client applications, which have more sophisticated graphics capabilities than standard Web browser-based applications. The Eclipse software, which was originally developed by IBM, also provides a single "framework" that different development tools can plug into.
