[eclipse-users] Tool declaration

Hi

    is tool declaration in Eclipse same as meta_predicate declaration in
other prologs like swi/sicstus/yap?
That is,
does the statement  ->   :- meta_predicate ltime(?,:).
valid in swi, etc

mean the same in Eclipse as ->
               :- tool( ltime/2 , ltime/3).

Thanks
Siddharth
