35 :     <p>The Core component forms the base of the Eclipse platform's runtime configuration.
36 :     It includes mechanisms and facilities for:</p>
37 :     <ul>
38 :     <li>booting and running the platform</li>
39 :     <li>plug-in declaration and management</li>
40 :     <li>resource management</li>
41 :     </ul>
42 :     <p>The Core is excruciatingly generic -- all plug-ins installed and run
43 :     on the Core infrastructure are treated equally. The contents of resources
44 :     are never examined in any domain-specific way and the Core can run equally
45 :     well with and without a UI. </p>

63 :     callback management, or programming for speed/space, the Core team wants

65 :     <p>Upcoming work is primarily in the details of currently supported function.</p>
