The IDE's name has traditionally followed the hardware's name, not the OS's, so from my
point of view, this rebranding was both expected and overdue.
The only thing that aggravates me about IBM's Eclipse strategy is that IBM i and WebSphere
users have to worry about new releases with every revision to those product. I expect
that there's going to be a new RDP for IBM i 7.1, and then there could be an Eclipse 3.6
compatible RDP 8.0 late this year to go with the WebSphere v.Next (8.0?) tooling.

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.
