+# 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.
