Thanks for your comment. I have learned the information of Open Projects on the website,and I find myself especially in the project of Eclipse Integration.Among those subprojects,basic cross development integration sounds a real challenge. I read a book about developing plug-ins on Eclipse three months ago,and mainly focused on the details of functions' usage.It's a pity that I haven't done plug-ins development on Eclipse yet. But if I know what a plug-in would be,I can surely try my best to make it out. Recently ,I am programming on VxWorks Workbench.When I am getting more familiar with it,I mantain an interest in the architecture of VxWorks IDE .And I spare my time to read many technology materials provided.But the image in my head how IDE is designed and implemented is still not clear. So I have many questions about the basic cross development;some important list as follows: The first question is how to design the IDE's architecture and list its modules.The second question is which skills and programming languages should be mastered.The third question is whether design documentation is needed. Thanks for your attention.

The Eclipse entry in OpenProjects is what we know about the project. Use that to write a proposal. Discuss it on the RTEMS Users Mailing List and the appropriate people will provide more detailed feedback. Eclipse is our preferred IDE direction and it dictates the language (Java) and architecture. To a large extent, it also dictates the order of your project because it has standard plugins that would need to be provided first. You want basic compilation and debug support before say some fancy RTEMS specific item. Alan Cudmore has been providing a lot of feedback to those interested in Eclipse.--Dr. Joel 06:24, 2 April 2008 (CDT)
