I'm not familiar with "Eclipse" but just browsing around Wikipedia and Eclipse.org it appears that the Eclipse development environment is not OS specific. It would be a plus if the Remedy development environment was not OS specific, like the old days when the Remedy Admin tool would run in X windows.

Ability to test AR System 7.5.00 both with and without ITSM and CMDB. Potential for testing on broad set of operating systems and environments.
