A vast ecosystem of plugins from an active community
Renesas have been using the Eclipse IDE platform and C/C++ Development Toolkit for many years as the basis of our own IDE product. We joined the Eclipse IDE Working Group because it is a great way to get proactively involved in the IDE and make contributions to keep the platform active and thriving.
The Eclipse IDE Working Group enables Renesas to more easily make a contribution when we have limited committers working on the projects that we use. Sponsoring the working group also gives us an avenue to further contribute and invest in these projects. The Eclipse IDE Working Group gives us insight into the future direction of the IDE and gives us the opportunity to influence the future plans which will affect our own commercial product and business interest.
