This is an excerpt
Executive Summary
It's not always easy to determine just how extensively Eclipse has penetrated enterprise IT shops. In many organizations, its adoption started out as a grassroots movement by individual developers. Eclipse adoption is increasingly coming out of hiding, but it is still not completely open everywhere. In an increasing number of organizations, it is officially endorsed, but in others, its use remains unofficial or even explicitly forbidden by IT policies that prohibit open source software. To get a true picture today, you have to look at the front lines of what developers are actually doing, rather than at what executives believe is the organization's official standard. Reading between the lines of survey data and detailed interviews, we believe that Eclipse is being used in more than 50% of IT organizations that are on platforms that it can target, and perhaps as many as 65% to 75% of Java development teams are making use of Eclipse or a commercial tool that is based on the Eclipse platform.
