开发工具和设备生产商是一种共生关系，为了应对WinMobile，Nokia不能再等待3party厂商为之开发工具了，而Nokia自己有显然无力开发一个IDE来对抗现有的Java IDE，选择Eclipse是一个明智之举。

Nokia一方面将其SDK于Eclipse集成，一方面派出8个开发人员参加Eclipse的开发。

不知道Borland怎么看待这件事情～～

Nokia will participate as an Eclipse Strategic Developer and board member. The vendor intends to donate components of its existing technology and build software to introduce tools for the creation of MIDP- (mobile information device profile) and CDC-based (connected device configuration) mobile Java applications.

Nokia had announced support for the Eclipse platform in 2004 in the Nokia Developer’s Suite for J2ME and the Nokia Mobile Server Services SDK. The company also contributed resources to the Embedded Rich Client Platform project at Eclipse.
