Eclipse IDE:
Eclipse is a multi-language software development platform comprising an IDE and a plug-in system to extend it. It is written primarily in Java and is used to develop applications in this language and, by means of the various plug-ins, in other languages as well—C/C++, Cobol, Python, Perl, PHP and more.
Eclipse is the best available IDE to date, it offers all what you expect from a modern IDE.
What is an IDE:
IDE stands for Integrated Development Environment. It provides the programmer one window interface where programmer can create, debug and run their programs. Nearly all of programming languages these days have some kind of IDE associated with them. IDE makes it easier for programmer to write applications.
An integrated development environment (IDE) also known as integrated design environment or integrated debugging environment is a software application that provides comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. An IDE normally consists of a:
source code editor, compiler and/or interpreter, build automation tools, and debugger (usually).
If you are primarily programming in Java then Eclipse will be your number one choice. Eclipse offers editing, compiling and debugging of Java code. It natively supports Java, actually the Eclipse IDE is itself written in Java programming language.
Eclipse is based on Eclipse Software foundation which is an open source community which means the Eclipse IDE is open source, you can download the source code and compile it yourself. Being open source means that Eclipse is look after by thousands of open source contributors from all over the world.
Eclipse employs a plug-in based architecture, so every bit of functionality you see is potentially a plug-in. You can download a number of plug-ins for Eclipse ranging from CVS, SVN, C++, PHP and more other utilities and languages. So if I want Eclipse to support Python programming language then all I have to to do is install the Python language plug-in.
Its really hard to sum up the functionality of Eclipse in a short tutorial. The intent of this tutorial is to motivate people to use Eclipse IDE for programming in any language.
