Eclipse provides an application framework .... it manages code!
What does Eclipse bring to the table that wasn't already there?

Lot's.

IBM has positioned Eclipse as the OS independent virtual computel framework to which you write your apps and plug them in. Its the answer to Windows but its designed to be portable accross OSes and its as fast as the native stuff - try it out.

This all comes out of the SmallTalk SW tools world which spawned the Applications Server model which lead to MS proposing .NET as the answer - the reason to stay on Windows.

If you are a corporation developing applications which you intend to run for the next thirty years, if they arer a success, then the Virtual Desktop (Eclipse plug-in model), built on a Virtual Machine (Java JVM) provides a compelling alternative to porting every three years when MS fixes its last set of architectural oversights.

This is IBM saying to the big corporations, its time to invest!
