I dont know exacly.
I made a training session for developer, and WindRiver teacher explain 
us that Eclipse define only some interfaces to garantee that all the 
components can work toghether, also if they come from different groups 
or company.
There are editor, code browser, compiler, debugger, remote execution, 
language support, crossarchitecture support, multiOS support, ecc..
Every component probably simply must offer some standard function to be 
integrated in the graphical developer workspace, and can communicate 
with the other developer tools in the RAD.
Maybe need some glue code to receive some framework data.
For example, I see an editor, communicating with code browser, evaluate 
the precompiler macro and hide part of the code that are define 
dependent (defined in the Project but ouside of the file).
Eclipse itself is written in Java, and is the standard framework for 
Java developer, but is gaining popularity also to C developer.
I do not know if it will become the standard. For now most of the C 
developer in my company use Nedit on Solaris, Linux or OSF server 
(exporting display on Windows desktop) for editing, and run GCC to 
crosscompile to VxWorks or Linux and PPC or x86 on the prompt. Then we 
load binary with NFS on the embedded target for debbugging.
Someone of the cheef speak about adopting WindRiver Workbench (based on 
Eclipse) as a RAD for the future. Who know?
I also use Nedit on Windows because after using it for work, I cannot 
adapt me to loose time with Windows notepad also for simple text editing.
