Eclipse does much more than just one job, of course.

It's a Java IDE.

No, Eclipse is an application framework.

There are several things with the name Eclipse. One is the application
framework. Another is the Java IDE built using this same framework.

No. Eclipse is the application framework:
http://www.eclipse.org/

JDT is the name of the Java development tools plugin:
http://www.eclipse.org/jdt/

The framework underlying it can be, and is, used for
other things, but the application itself is a Java IDE.

Eclipse /is/ the framework.

The framework is NAMED Eclipse. But the Java IDE is ALSO named
Eclipse,

No. See the above URLs.

You evil, vile foul-mouthed *cad*! How dare you compare Eclipse to
that execrable, wonky, awful-UI piece of legacy crud?

You better get used to it, as this is largely its intended purpose.

Replacing emacs and other legacy cruft with nice modern tools, and
further improving those nice modern tools, is its intended purpose.

Indeed. Did you rephrase my statement so that you might get external
confirmation that you were, indeed, finally capable of comprehending
something?

Emulating emacs down to the nasty cruftiness most certainly is not.

You are emulating emacs now?

Cheers,
