It provides full content management and is compatible with existing Web pages, Web design tools, Internet browsers, Web servers, and XML authoring software. With its multi-lingual support, Eclipse addresses the growing need for Web sites that are presented in multiple local languages. In addition to its support for managing all types of file formats including graphics, PDF files, and HTML pages, Eclipse provides rich support for XML documents, including integration with leading authoring tools. XML content is easily authored in Eclipse, using common XML editing tools such as SoftQuad's XMetaL and Arbortext's Adept, as well as in Arbortext's complete XML-based content management framework, Epic. To assist in collaboration, authors can check out information to the XML editing tool and be assured that no one else can make conflicting edits until it is checked in again.
Authors can also easily determine who is working on pieces of the document.
At each check in, revision information indicating time, date, and author is automatically collected, building a version history of changes made. Eclipse uses XML throughout the system. As visitors move through the Web site, Eclipse combines XML user profiles and actions to generate interactive content requests. These requests are fulfilled with Eclipse' XML content repository, matching attribute information for both the user and the content. The resulting interactive content is then styled for the appropriate delivery method, such as Web browsers, wireless devices, print, or CD-ROM, and delivered to the visitor in rapid fashion.
