Eclipse 简明教程
Eclipse - Overview
What is Eclipse?
在计算的背景下，Eclipse 是一个用于使用 Java 编程语言和其他编程语言（如 C/C++、Python、PERL、Ruby 等）开发应用程序的集成开发环境 (IDE)。
In the context of computing, Eclipse is an integrated development environment (IDE) for developing applications using the Java programming language and other programming languages such as C/C++, Python, PERL, Ruby etc.
为 Eclipse IDE 提供基础的 Eclipse 平台由插件组成，并且设计为可以使用其他插件进行扩展。Eclipse 平台使用 Java 开发，可以用于开发富客户端应用程序、集成开发环境和其他工具。Eclipse 可用作任何有插件提供的编程语言的 IDE。
The Eclipse platform which provides the foundation for the Eclipse IDE is composed of plug-ins and is designed to be extensible using additional plug-ins. Developed using Java, the Eclipse platform can be used to develop rich client applications, integrated development environments and other tools. Eclipse can be used as an IDE for any programming language for which a plug-in is available.
Java 开发工具 (JDT) 项目提供了一个插件，允许 Eclipse 用作 Java IDE，PyDev 是一个允许 Eclipse 用作 Python IDE 的插件，C/C 开发工具 (CDT) 是一个插件，允许 Eclipse 用作开发使用 C/C 的应用程序，Eclipse Scala 插件允许 Eclipse 用作 IDE 开发 Scala 应用程序，而 PHPeclipse 是一个 Eclipse 插件，为 PHP 提供完整的开发工具。
The Java Development Tools (JDT) project provides a plug-in that allows Eclipse to be used as a Java IDE, PyDev is a plugin that allows Eclipse to be used as a Python IDE, C/C Development Tools (CDT) is a plug-in that allows Eclipse to be used for developing application using C/C, the Eclipse Scala plug-in allows Eclipse to be used an IDE to develop Scala applications and PHPeclipse is a plug-in to eclipse that provides complete development tool for PHP.
Licensing
Eclipse 平台和 Eclipse 基金会提供的其他插件根据 Eclipse 公共许可证 (EPL) 发布。EPL 确保 Eclipse 可以免费下载和安装。它还允许修改和分发 Eclipse。
Eclipse platform and other plug-ins from the Eclipse foundation is released under the Eclipse Public License (EPL). EPL ensures that Eclipse is free to download and install. It also allows Eclipse to be modified and distributed.
Eclipse Releases
自 2006 年以来，Eclipse 基金会每年 6 月都会发布 Eclipse 平台和许多其他插件。
Every year, since 2006, the Eclipse foundation releases the Eclipse Platform and a number of other plug-ins in June.
