I have heard of a couple applications that run on the Eclipse platform, but I don't remember them right now. I do remember BIRT, though. Actually, I really liked the idea of a free reporting tool, but I discarded it before looking into it just because it required Eclipse to run.
But now, I may revisit that thought, and look into BIRT again.

Good point Luis, which made me think of something else. Has anyone see a
business application developed for Eclipse? I am not talking about tools,
but actually business apps (i.e. Order Entry, AR, etc).

Great find, Aaron!
As I see it, the main potential for this tool is to allow users use
Eclipse-based tools.
For instance, let's take BIRT. As I understand it, BIRT is an Eclipse-based
query/reporting tool. To me, just thinking of deploying an Eclipsed-based
tool to my users makes me shudder.
But what if I could have zero-deployment through the web? Then, those
Eclipse-based application could immediately become available to my users.
If they make this work right, Eclipse may become a very attractive
application delivery vehicle.
