    <p>If you want to extend the Eclipse IDE, as in <a href="http://www.vogella.com/articles/EclipsePlugIn/article.html">this tutorial</a>, a simple classic Eclipse is enough to develop "<a href="http://help.eclipse.org/juno/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/firstplugin.htm">Eclipse plugins</a>".</p> <blockquote> <p>The Eclipse platform is structured as a core runtime engine and a set of additional features that are installed as platform plug-ins.<br> Plug-ins contribute functionality to the platform by <strong>contributing to pre-defined extension points</strong>. The workbench UI is contributed by one such plug-in.<br> When you start up the workbench, you are not starting up a single Java program. You are activating a platform runtime which can dynamically discover registered plug-ins and start them as needed.</p> <p>When you want to provide code that extends the platform, you do this by defining system extensions in your plug-in.<br> The platform has a well-defined set of <strong>extension points</strong> - places where you can hook into the platform and contribute system behavior.<br> From the platform's perspective, your plug-in is no different than basic plug-ins like the resource management system or the workbench itself.</p> </blockquote> <hr> <p>But if you want to do an <em>independent</em> application, based on the Eclipse <em>platform</em>, then it is an <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/RCP">RCP ("Rich Client Platform")</a>, and you can follow <a href="http://www.vogella.com/articles/EclipseRCP/article.html">this tutorial</a>.</p> <blockquote> <p>Eclipse-based applications which are not primarily used as software development tools are called Eclipse RCP applications.<br> An Eclipse 4 RCP application typically uses the base components of the Eclipse platform and adds additional application specific components. </p> </blockquote> <p>You would need then an "Eclipse for RCP and RAP Developers" (from the <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/">download page</a>). </p>
