<h3>About e4</h3>
<p>The mission of the e4 project is to build a next generation platform for
pervasive, component-based applications and tools. See the
<a href="/projects/project_summary.php?projectid=eclipse.e4">about page</a>
as well as the original
<a href="http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/e4/">project proposal</a>
for more details.
</p>
<p>
The Eclipse platform was first targeted at building an extensible IDE component
framework. It has since grown to include a Rich Client Platform, enabling whole
new categories of scenarios and domains. As the software landscape changes,
so must the Eclipse platform in order to remain relevant and vibrant. These
trend lines point to web technologies, new user interface metaphors, and
distributed infrastructure. Now is the time to rethink elements of the platform
so that Eclipse may remain at the forefront of application development.
