According to Lee Nackman, [[Chief Technology Officer]] of IBM's [[Rational Software|Rational division]] (originating in 2003) at that time, the name "Eclipse" (dating from at least 2001) was not a wordplay on [[Sun Microsystems]], as the product's primary competition at the time of naming was [[Microsoft Visual Studio]] (which it, ''Eclipse'', was to eclipse).<ref>

Different versions of Eclipse have been named after different celestial bodies, more specifically planets or planets' natural satellites. Examples are: Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, Galileo and Luna. The latest version coming in 2015 has been named Mars.
