The JDT project provides the tool plug-ins that implement a full-featured Java IDE supporting the development of any Java application, providing refactoring support, incremental compilation, smart editing etc. The JDT project allows Eclipse to be a development environment for itself. The PDE project provides the mechanisms that enable the community to build plug-ins for eclipse.

The Eclipse SDK includes the Eclipse Platform, Java development tools, and Plug-in Development Environment, including source and both user and programmer documentation.

Fugu is a native Mac OS X Cocoa GUI wrapper for OpenSSH's commandline sftp client. SFTP is a secure replacement for FTP: the session is encrypted via ssh, so nothing--most importantly passwords--is sent in the clear.

Additionally, Fugu contains support for directory upload, which is not natively supported in OpenSSH's sftp client. Fugu supports directory download via scp. If you try to download a directory with sftp, Fugu will notify you that OpenSSH's sftp client cannot download directories, and will offer to do it with scp. Recursive directory deletion is not yet supported.

Fugu also includes support for SCP file transfers, and the ability to create secure tunnels via SSH.

What's New?
