Eclipse is an open source, full featured IDE for tool integration built by an open community of tool providers. Operating under a open source paradigm, with a common public license that provides royalty free source code and world wide redistribution rights, the eclipse platform provides tool developers with ultimate flexibility and control over their software technology.

| Jerome-X has developed a wonderful plugin to an amazing IDE. The plugin allows Unreal scripters to easily create and maintain Unreal scripting projects. Note
The plugin has basic features but is a Work In Progress. Many thanks to Jerome-X!

Jerome-X: Eclipse is mainly used for development of Java programs and J2EE applications, but there are increasingly new plugins being developed for eclipse, e.g. for C++ and lots of other languages. There hundreds of all kind of plugins available, see http://www.eclipse-plugins.info

The features that usable with the UScript plugin should be put in bold or something. Also maybe the features list should be divided into sections a little bit more
