Eclipse Oxygen is Released and it’s Freaking Awesome!
Eclipse IDE was originally created by IBM after getting inspiration from a SmallTalk-based VisualAge family of Integrated Development Environment. It was released in the year 2001 as an open source software after a consortium with a board of stewards including Borland, IBM, Merant, Red Hat, SuSe among others was formed. 2 years later, the number of stewards had increased to over 80 members and in 2004, the Eclipse Foundation which is the developing community was created.
