| The types of problems web application developers face today |
| require the use of a diverse set of tools that operate in many |
| domains. In order to provide flexible tool integration, a tool |
| integration platform must allow tool developers to target |
| different levels or integration based on the desired level of |
| investment, time to market, and specific tool needs. Each |

| different levels of tool integration supported by Eclipse, and |
