# Contributing to Eclipse Java development tools

Thanks for your interest in this project.

## Project description

The JDT project provides the tool plug-ins that implement a Java IDE supporting
the development of any Java application, including Eclipse plug-ins. It adds a
Java project nature and Java perspective to the Eclipse Workbench as well as a
number of views, editors, wizards, builders, and code merging and refactoring
tools. The JDT project allows Eclipse to be a development environment for
itself.

With the announced deprecation of php-content on eclipse.dev websites I assume this link will not work well for a long time, but at the moment there is nothing better I know.

I don't think you should point to the php page. It is out of date and points to other out of date pages. I would suggest you either leave the link above (which is archived) or create a new .md file by stealing any relevant text from the php page you pointed to, replacing or simply removing any php links. This at least gives a base for building on.
