1.2. Eclipse 4 vs. Eclipse 3.x

1.2. Eclipse 4 vs. Eclipse 3.x

The major enhancements in Eclipse 4 compared to Eclipse 3.x are the following:

  • the structure on an Eclipse application is described via a logical model called the application model
  • the application model can be modified at development and runtime
  • the application model can be extended
  • the programming model is based on dependency injection
  • the styling of Eclipse widgets can be configured via external (CSS like) files
  • the application model is decoupled from its presentation, this allows a flexible configuration of the user interface and to use different user interface toolkits such as SWT or JavaFX
