When using Eclipse as IDE, developers require additional information to work on source code. These information are typically something like documentation, specification or source code snippets. But also the phone number of another developer, some nodes taken while working on another software-project, a link to a blog-posting which describes an interesting approach for solving a specific problem, a screenshot of a special window or a video tutorial how to use a certain technology.

Eclipse Remus is a project under the Eclipse Technology umbrella that will bring all these information in the Eclipse SDK by storing and visualizing different types of information or documents locally, make them searchable and by providing technologies to share information on remote repositories.

Remus is a tooling set for the management of information and different content-types. It provides:

• Storage of information within your workspace.
• Visualization and export functionalities of information in several formats.
• Search functionalities for stored information.
• Connections to several remote repositories to share your information.
