Comments from Jon Strande of JavaPro: "What do you get when an industry heavyweight, IBM, donates source code worth $40 million to the open source community? You get a great, free, integrated development environment (IDE) named Eclipse. Leading the development effort is Object Technology International (OTI), an IBM company, which built the VisualAge products. (IBM is using Eclipse as the basis for its next-generation WebSphere Studio Application Development environment.)"
