Source: https://www.eclipse.org
Can Eclipse be self-hosted?
Yes. Eclipse can be deployed cloud / SaaS and self-hosted, so it does not have to run on the vendor's infrastructure.
Source: https://www.eclipse.org
What does Eclipse integrate with?
We have confirmed 12 integrations for Eclipse, including VS Code extensions, Monaco editor, Language Server Protocol, Arduino IDE, Code Composer Studio, Mbed Studio, QuickConnect Studio and logi.CLOUD, plus 4 more. This is what we could verify from public sources, so the vendor may support others we have not indexed.

What security certifications does Eclipse have?
We have independently confirmed GDPR for Eclipse. Certifications we do not list are ones we have not been able to verify from public sources, which is not the same as Eclipse not holding them. Always confirm compliance directly before you rely on it.
Is Eclipse open source?
Yes. Eclipse is published under the EPL-2.0 licence, a copyleft licence, so check its terms before embedding it in a closed-source product. Licence terms can change between releases, so verify against the repository for the version you intend to use.
Where is Eclipse available?
Eclipse is available worldwide. The vendor is headquartered in Belgium.

The vioscaleAI score: one lens on the evidence
Not user reviews and not a paid placement: a confidence-weighted blend of the independent signals below (adoption, activity, security posture, and more), which you can sort and re-weight yourself. Vendors can correct their listing but can never move their rank, and stars are weighted low as a vanity metric. It is one way to read the evidence for Eclipse, not the verdict.
