The Eclipse Foundation, which has been a staple for open source development tools for most of the past decade, will offer its annual "release train" on Wednesday, featuring tools for mobile application development and a new base platform itself.

Version 4.2 includes a compatibility layer enabling existing Eclipse plug-ins and RCP (Eclipse Rich Client Platform) applications to work on the new platform. Other highlights of Juno include:
