Why Eclipse?
• The premier open source IDE– Free & open– Neutral governance– Already strong affinity with cloud (Orion/Flux)
• Large ecosystem. Strong community.– 2001: IBM and 7 other companies announce the Eclipse consortium– 2004: Eclipse Foundation Formed– 2014: Vibrant foundation with companies from around the globe, over 100
projects and sub-projects, 1700+ plugins in the Eclipse Marketplace and counting!

How can I develop my own extension?
• Start by taking a look at the Pivotal CF branding plugin as an example:org.cloudfoundry.ide.eclipse.server.branding
• Create your own branding plugin by cloning that branding plugin as your starting point
• Try adding a new extension of org.cloudfoundry.ide.eclipse.server.core.application and org.cloudfoundry.ide.eclipse.server.ui.applicationWizard to define support for deploying a new type of module.
• Check out vendor specific IBM Bluemix implementation in action:IBM Codename: Bluemix for Eclipse Kepler Beta (https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/ibm-codename-bluemix-eclipse-kepler)

Potential Framework Opportunities
• Better debug• Real deployments
– DevOps, Continuous Integration• Think beyond the app
– APIs/Services– BOSH, OpenStack
• Intersection with new community efforts– Docker, .NET
• Globalization/Internationalization• If you can think it, you can build it!
