Eclipse is a so-called IDE (Integrated Development Environment), a software application that facilitates programmers in the process of software development. Eclipse is used for editing source code while a set of features aid to the process of writing this code: Syntax highlightning, error checking, debugging, version control, code completion, documentation, etcetera. This makes it ideal for developing Joomla! code.
