Over the years this wiki has been both a blessing in the wealth of information it provides, and has also been severely attacked by spammers. This required significant maintenance. Since Summer 2006, moderated registration has been turned on, and spam content abd accounts are actively tracked and deleted.

Note that this wiki has been one of the original wikis about Eclipse, despite the recent launch of a wiki on the Eclipse.org web site. We believe that it is important that it continues on as an independent Eclipse information resource, with a focus on the open source Eclipse community at large.

DescriptionEdit

A place to share information about Eclipse and its sub-projects.


Eclipse-wiki.info was started in 2004 by Xavier Mehaut to offer a reliable and user-friendly wiki for the eclipse community. It replaced the former eclipsewiki.swiki.net, which suffered from neglect. This site was started in relation to eclipse-plugins.info, which was also mostly maintained by Xavier Mehaut until 2005. After over two years—in June 2006—Xavier passed the baton to Philippe Ombredanne, who is now the maintainer of this wiki. But Xavier is still around! Over the years, this wiki has been both a blessing in the wealth of information it provides and has also been severely attacked by spammers, requiring significant maintenance. Since Summer 2006, moderated registration has been turned on, and spam content and accounts are actively tracked and deleted. In the mid-term, this wiki is likely to migrate soon to an open-source platform and offer better self-policing spam control features.

Note that this wiki has been one of the original wikis about Eclipse, despite the recent launch of a wiki on the Eclipse.org website. We believe it is important that it continue as an independent Eclipse information resource, with a focus on the open source Eclipse community at large.

Have fun providing valuable information in this wiki, especially by porting information from the old wiki site to this one and adding new stuff.

Thanks for your contributions!
