i have used OSGI in projects and find it useful to see bundles states, Camel routes/endpoints, lot's of other useful stuff.
But i have never seen it working properly in PROD enterprise application.
Sadly my eclipse is just confirming that from time to time with errors :(

I know. OSGi needs to die. I'll quit a job before I subject myself to that level of pain and despair ever again.
Sorry for the easy jab, but is there anything from Eclipse that is good ?
ps: user and ex plugin developer asking
CDT used to be quite good, and there are some features like makefiles and debugging capabilities that are missing from CLion.
And actually it does use less resources than either InteliJ or Android Studio, while having faster builds.
Oh right I forgot CDT. The key to Eclipse's success.
Android Studio's minimum-resource-usage-for-sane-performance is enormous. It does some things nicer than Eclipse, but there are definitely times I miss Eclipse's lean-ness, which is not a thing I would have expected myself to ever feel prior to AS.
The IDE is good. Eclipselink is fine.
I felt it was hog, slow, and the interal API is a maze. Also the virtual fs layer ...
It's big and slow, agreed, but it is very powerful. I don't know the details of the virtual FS layer but I can sympathise because that's very difficult to get right in a cross-platform way.
I don't think it's powerful. As fanatic as it seems, emacs is more powerful for real work. It's more human and more theoretical than Eclipse, which is a "usine a gaz" more than anything. It doesn't bring performance, nor ease of use, or stability. I don't get it.
The graphical views are useful, and the wide range of plugins comes in very handy. I could never get on with the emacs interface - it just wasn't discoverable enough - YMMV I guess.
Discoverability in emacs is a tiny bootstrap problem. I have to admit that for years I didn't know how to ask emacs, but when you do (C-h m, C-h k), there's no more discoverability problem.

Jetty? OpenHAB?
Did Jetty start as an Eclipse project or was it swallowed recently ? I thought it was apache incubated.
