Please don't pardon :-)
There has been quite some discussion about the name yet. Here is some
history for you.
Historically it has been named "Arduino Eclipse Plugin" as it used to be
only a plugin and because nobody bothered as we never realized it would
ever be as big as it is today.
Then Wim added the product. Which makes the name "Arduino Eclipse
Plugin" "no longer to covers the cargo" (sorry don't know the Englsh
expression)
Then there is the casing (which -at simple request of Wim ;-) - I will
not cover)
During the discussion with Eclipse legal it was mentioned that the name
might not be confirm trademark ruling. Basically legal advises to make
our own name product name.
Legally Eclipse allows "eclipse edition" and Arduino does not really
specify what is allowed for software. But for boards "for Arduino" is
allowed but "XXX Arduino" is not.
IMHO "Eclipse for C++" is actually CDT which stands for "C++ development
tools" like JDT stands for "Java development tools". In that trend we
could call it ADT "Arduino Development tools" or MDT (MCU) or IDT (iot).
Personally I do not really like this 3 letter abbreviation words. But
I'm democratic guy ....
One of the reasons I like "Arduino IDE eclipse edition" (but I am not
crazy about it) is that we could make "IDE" and "edition" really small
(far smaller that you have made them on the splash) so it still looks
like "Arduino eclipse" as on the current splash. So that would make the
official name "Arduino IDE eclipse edition", "Arduino Eclipse" in short.
I think these are the headline of the current name discussion
Best regards

Pardon the interruption, but wouldn't be more logical Eclipse Arduino Edition? You don't have C++ Eclipse Edition, you have Eclipse for C++.
