I have used ECB several times for different projects during my career as both developer/consultant with companies like Oracle Corp., SAP AG etc. It has been very useful tool especially when one needs accurate info about elements of system or component parts that are needed by customer requirements which can be stored within the ECB itself. The only thing i would say it might look outdated if you compare new versions from today where there should not much problem since ECW does support JDK 1.7 but still need update some minor things before implementing newer version because Java 8 was released few years back now so they had time enough while updating their tools for J8 compatibility. Overall its good product considering old school approach compared other modern products available nowadays such as MWS2MES. Yes this will help us solve information management issue regarding our client who requires detailed data entry related project work documentation using various systems including MS-Word documents.
