Eclipse

Open-source software collaboration platform and ecosystem

Overview

Eclipse is a non-profit platform for open-source software collaboration that hosts a large ecosystem of projects, including the Eclipse IDE and Jakarta EE.

It differentiates itself by combining a broad community with formal governance and a nonprofit funding model that keeps projects open and community-driven. Its goal is to enable open-source software creation at scale by offering shared infrastructure and keeping projects freely accessible to everyone.
