The document discusses the relationship between Eclipse and academia. It notes that Mylyn was created as part of a PhD thesis and later became a top-level Eclipse project. It also discusses how code recommender projects started in academia and have since involved many student contributors and moved features to Eclipse. Code Bubbles is another academic project mentioned. The document encourages collaboration on existing Eclipse projects or starting new projects as opportunities for students.
