Both Eclipse and Derby are the result of previous shopping sprees by IBM.

Eclipse was developed by the IBM Ottawa Software Lab. This lab started life as OTI, a company which developed Smalltalk technology, that IBM bought in 1996.

Derby is the open-source version of the Cloudscape DB. Cloudscape was a Java DB company which was acquired by Informix in 1999, which was in turn acquired by IBM in 2005.
