Eclipse is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) used in computer programming. It includes a base workspace and an extensible plug-in system for customizing the environment. It is the second-most-popular IDE for Java development. Eclipse is written mostly in Java and its primary use is for developing Java applications, but it may also be used to develop applications in other programming languages via plug-ins, including C, C++, C#, Groovy, JavaScript, etc. Similarly, Spring Tool Suite (STS) is a java IDE tailored for developing Spring-based enterprise applications. It is easier, faster, and more convenient. And most importantly it is based on Eclipse IDE.Â
