I'm not sure what you mean 'customized version of eclipse'.
Eclipse is designed to be 'customized' using plug-in's.

As far as I can tell, they are using a base version of Eclipse (albeit a bit old, in internet terms) and adding a gob of proprietary plug-in's.
Yup, this is exactly what Eclipse was designed to do. My only real problem is that they decided to use a platform dependent plug-in for the LPEX editor, thus removing one of the primary benefits of Eclipse.

And while you can run the tools inside a VM (Jon seems to find it perfectly acceptable), it's just wrong to use a VM to run a VM.
