SlickEdit demonstrated Visual SlickEdit working with Eclipse projects and announced that Eclipse support will be generally available in early 2003. Eclipse is the open platform for software development tool integration built by an open community of tool providers, operating under an open source model.

IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) , Red Hat, SuSE, Borland, Rational Software, Serena, and TogetherSoft. The Eclipse Platform is an open-source Java-based application development framework that has been gaining in momentum since being launched in 2001. "The Eclipse organization is very pleased that SlickEdit is supporting the Eclipse universal tools platform," said Skip McGaughey, chairperson of the Eclipse Board of Stewards. "It's very satisfying to see momentum build for the open workbench as products like Visual SlickEdit, preferred by many developers, support the Eclipse Platform. Customers really win since they can use so many great tools from multiple-vendors together on a variety of development platforms." The focus of SlickEdit's integration with Eclipse is on enabling the Visual SlickEdit editing environment to seamlessly integrate with Eclipse-based projects. This will allow Eclipse customers to use the best-in-class editing environment - and allow the 140,000+ Visual SlickEdit customers to expand into the Eclipse arena.
