+<h2>Background information</h2>
+
+<p>Carbide.c++ is built on the <a href="http://www.eclipse.org">Eclipse</a> platform. The Eclipse components used are:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Eclipse 3.4</li>
+<li>A slightly modified version of CDT 5.0.0</li>
+<li>EMF 2.4.1</li>
+<li>GEF 3.4.1</li>
+</ul>
+<p>The APIs published by these components are available for use in your plugins.</p>
+<p>Carbide.c++ itself publishes a set of APIs which are documented in this guide.</p>
+<p>Carbide.c++ requires Java 5 and a Java 5 JRE is part of the Carbide.c++ installation. 
+Your plugins can use Java 5 features. The included version of CDT was built with Java 1.4 language compliance.</p>
+
+<p>Developing plugins for Carbide.c++ requires knowledge of Java and Eclipse plugin development practices.
