Hi, 

I'm Marc Erickson, the communications manager for the open-source Eclipse 
tools integration projects. 

I've been looking over the Mono site at: http://www.go-mono.com/index.html 
and am curious, has anyone 
in the project been working with our Eclipse frameworks or development 
environments? 

A company in France called Improve Technologies at: 
http://www.improve-technologies.com/alpha/esharp/ has actually done a 
commercial plug-in for developing C# applications on the Eclipse Platform. 


Eclipse was designed for multi-language, multi-platform tools deployment. 
It's completely neutral about the objects being developed. This means that 
many projects that are working on C/C++, Cobol, SmallTalk, Java and other 
legacy languages on a wide variety of deployment platforms may want to 
integrate .NET related technology into their projects. 

A set of MONO plug-ins for Eclipse would make it easier for those projects 
to integrate your tooling and environment. 

Eclipse itself is written in the Java language, with a high efficiency UI 
construction layer called SWT that adopts the look and feel of the 
platform it runs on. All of this is in open source under the Common Public 
License. It runs on Linux on a variety of VMs. One of these VMs, called 
JIKES, is in open source. See: 
http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/jikes/ and 
http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/jikesrvm/?origin=jikes for more 
details. 

Let me know if I can help put you in touch with members of our project 
team. 

Marc
