g-Eclipse - an integrated framework to access and maintain Grid resources

The g-Eclipse framework provides a general, integrated workbench toolset for Grid users, operators and developers. Based on the Open Source Eclipse ecosystem, g-Eclipse supports scientists to interact with Grid resources independent of the underlying Grid middleware. Its main objective is to deliver an extensible framework for different Grid actors, by providing a unified abstraction of the Grid. The Grid abstraction enables Grid application users to access the Grid in a desktop-like manner with wizards specific for common use cases; it also provides a set of visual configuration tools to maintain and configure Grid resources.
