Eclipse's First Plugin A Reality 10
Irish writes: "Eclipse, IBMs open sourced development tool donation (which is now supported by an organization of a number of companies), just got a little stronger as the released their first plugin. The C and C++ IDE will focus on Linux development and deployment. On a similar note, developerWorks is offering a trial download for WebSphere Studio Application Developer for Linux which is a pluggable tool-development and integration platform that is very similar to Eclipse. I was wonding is Eclipse trying to block SUN?"

I don't know that I would call this the first, though it may seem that way from the web-site. The Java Development Tools plug-in has been available for a while, as has the Jikes RVM plug-in [ibm.com].
Eclipse, for Java development, is definitely at a usable stage (both 1.0 and the 2.0 integration builds.) Very nice editing, refactoring, and VCS features (to name a few.)
I'm not sure why one would think that an open source development tools platform would constitute an attempt to block SUN. If you mean NetBeans [netbeans.org], then, insofar as competition equals "blocking", I suppose you could say that.
