From 1 to 1000

Eclipse started as a closed project in IBM. The first version of Eclipse was released in November 2001. Eclipse was annonced by IBM as a $40 million donation to the open source community.

Erich Gamma explains how seven years with eclipse has changed his views on software development. See the video!

As of today, http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com/ has 1125 eclipse plugin projects. In http://eclipse.org you will find around 100 high profile eclipse plugin projects.

Eclipse replicated from 1 to 1000 projects in 7 years. And where do we see our community after 10 years?

For me what does this mean. I can talk with lots of like-minded people in eclipse community. People who like to code, code and code again. :)
