Your Tech Partner for Tool and IDE Development

With well over a decade of experience, EclipseSource excels in designing, developing, and enhancing tools across various domains and major technology platforms. Whether you need a classic IDE for software engineering, a modeling tool for domain experts, a domain-specific solution for engineers, or an AI-driven tool, our expertise covers desktop, web-based, and cloud-based applications. As your dedicated service provider, EclipseSource offers comprehensive conceptual and technical support to design and implement the optimal solution for your unique use case.

Software Engineering Tools/IDEs

Efficient tooling is crucial for software engineers tackling complex software systems. While many integrated development environments (IDEs) exist for general-purpose programming languages, a generic IDE often doesn’t meet specific development infrastructure, workflow, or product requirements. If you need IDE support for a domain-specific language, a dedicated build toolchain, software analysis tool, debugging environment, or source collaboration infrastructure, EclipseSource is your ideal partner.

Modeling Tools

Modeling helps manage the complexity of today’s business domains, aiding in system specification, process definition, requirements gathering, and more. To fully benefit from modeling and domain-specific languages (DSLs), efficient tooling is essential. EclipseSource experts excel in creating tools for graphical and textual modeling, model analysis, code generation, model versioning, collaborative modeling, and more, whether for custom languages or standards like UML.

Domain-specific Tools

Data-centric, domain-specific applications and tools are required in various domains, e.g. Electrical Engineering: To design complex products, such as processors or devices; Automotive Engineering: To develop cars and controllers; Finance: To describe, simulate and configure products such as insurances or funds, and many more domains. Whether it’s a web-based solution, an Eclipse-based application, or another platform, EclipseSource brings the technical expertise to handle the complexity of your domain-specific project. As domain experts, you partner with our technical experts to build outstanding tools tailored to your needs.

AI-powered Tools and IDEs

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing tools and IDEs by transforming them into intelligent partners that optimize workflows and increase productivity. At EclipseSource, we specialize in seamlessly integrating custom AI-driven solutions into tools, providing tailored AI assistants that adapt to your domain-specific needs. From intelligent code completion to advanced project configuration and data analysis, our expertise ensures a smooth and powerful AI enhancement for your toolchain. Whether through our cutting-edge Theia AI framework or other leading platforms, we help you stay ahead in a competitive market by delivering fully tailored, scalable AI solutions.

Desktop-based Tools

While many tools are now built for the browser, there are still environments and use cases that justify an installable desktop application. With over a decade of experience in building pure desktop tools, EclipseSource can assist in projects requiring flexible deployment, enabling tools to run on the desktop, in the cloud or even both. We can integrate modern technologies on the desktop and specialize in modernizing existing desktop applications, preparing them for an eventual migration to the web if needed.

Eclipse-based Tools

Eclipse-based tools are robust solutions for building complex, extensible applications. EclipseSource offers extensive experience in developing, maintaining, and modernizing Eclipse RCP applications. We also specialize in preparing Eclipse-based tools for migration to the web, ensuring a seamless transition.
