Eclipse Users Group: UFO User Friendly organization

Why Join?

Why Should I Join the Eclipse Users Group?

Congratulations on choosing Eclipse software. Your fellow Eclipse users across the country have banded together to help each other get the most out of this remarkable software.

The Eclipse Users Group (UFO) User Friendly Organization is an organization created and run by companies like yours who are using Eclipse software. We are not part of Eclipse but do work very closely with them to provide constructive feedback and to help guide future development of the product. Members of the Eclipse User Group have a place at the Eclipse table and your voice will be heard.

Beyond that, the UFO is dedicated to helping you maximize the return on your investment in Eclipse. We provide the tools and training you and your employees need to increase the efficient and productive use of the software, a forum you can turn to for fast, real-time answers about the software, and the peer-to-peer networking which will help you leverage for your own company the success other members have achieved.
