The Eclipse platform was first targeted at building an extensible IDE component framework. It has since grown to include a Rich Client Platform, enabling whole new categories of scenarios and domains. As the software landscape changes, so must the Eclipse platform in order to remain relevant and vibrant. These trend lines point to web technologies, new user interface metaphors, and distributed infrastructure. Now is the time to rethink elements of the platform so that Eclipse may remain at the forefront of application development.
The mission of the e4 project is to build a next generation platform for pervasive, component-based applications and tools.
A wealth of technical information on e4 can be found on the e4 wiki page. The wiki also provides more detailed planning information, and a variety of channels for communicating with the e4 developers: http://wiki.eclipse.org/e4
