Red Hat Developer Studio’s original code bases of Exadel Studio Pro and JBoss IDE were already based on Eclipse, so supporting Eclipse was natural. Also, Eclipse is currently the leading and most popular IDE framework for developers. Building on Eclipse, then, will help many developers in using Red Hat Developer Studio. Finally, Red Hat is one of the founding members of Eclipse and is committed to building out the ecosystem of products around the Eclipse IDE platform. JBoss also has a strong tradition of building tools around the Eclipse platfom. This makes Eclipse a natural choice for Red Hat’s developer tools. Having said that, Red Hat will continue to work with the community and other vendors to expand tooling for their development platforms.
