In differential geometry, Lie algebroids generalize on one hand Lie algebras, on the other hand the tangent bundle of a manifold: they are vector bundles equipped with an anchor map, i.e. a vector bundle morphism to the tangent bundle, and a Lie algebra structure on the space of sections subject to certain Leibniz rules. The integrated version of a Lie algebroid is a Lie groupoid. A purely algebraic version is a Lie-Rinehart algebra.

Use of theory of Lie algebroids in (better) understanding of generalised complex structures

The compatibility conditions that you mention in the definition of a generalized complex structure are equivalent to the statement that the $+i$-eigenbundle $L$ of $J$ is a complex Dirac structure: c …

Lie algebroid associated to a vector bundle

Question 1. The two procedures indeed give the same Lie algebroid. One possible way of seeing this is by considering the flows of vector fields: a section of $T(GL(E))/GL(n)$ is a vector field on the …
