[news.eclipse.tools] Re: Timescales to end of evaluation

Well, first of all, you must remember that Eclipse isn't so much an IDE as
it is a toolkit for building IDE's.  IBM has already announced that they
will be selling a commercial tool based on the Eclipse technology (called
Websphere Studio Application Developer), probably beginning sometime in 4Q
2001.  That is probably what you should consider for real project
development with Eclipse.
