This release is part of Eclipse IDE 2020-12

The project has been around for 10+ years extending Eclipse IDE + CDT from the outside of the Eclipse Foundation. This release and graduation marks Eclipse Embed CDT's completing the transition to the Eclipse way of doing things. The project team has learned the tools and processes of the Foundation, including CQs, IP Management for handling contributions and with this first official release, release reviews. The project is already adopted by dozens of embedded companies in their Eclipse IDE based tools and has attracted new contributors and adoption, for example from the CORE-V foundation as a basis for the CORE-V IDE  There is also a new top level Eclipse IDE download which features this set of plug-ins in the 2020-12 release.
