<div class="rollover-tile-content">
<p>
The Eclipse Project was created by IBM in November 2001 and
supported by a consortium of software vendors. The Eclipse
Project continues to be used by millions of developers. The
Eclipse Foundation was created in January 2004 as an
independent not-for-profit corporation to act as the steward
of the Eclipse community. The independent not-for-profit
corporation was created to allow a vendor-neutral, open, and
transparent community to be established around Eclipse.
