DevelopmentProcess


Remove Notion of "Container" Projects (4.0)

All projects ''can'' have code Some currently do not

Rebrand simply as "projects" Projects may have subprojects Nesting is restricted to three-levels

top-level.project.subproject Projects ''can'' act as containers

Summary: Subprojects

A project may have zero or more subprojects Each subproject has its own

committers and resources Subproject scope must

align with parent project scope

Parent project leadership provides oversight

Incubators Subproject of a mature project Permanent Incubation

Has "incubator" in the name No reviews, No releases, No plan

Purpose: Experiment with new ideas Benefit from Parallel IP Grow new committers

Easy to create




Humble Beginnings


Early Days


Welcome to eclipse.orgEclipse is a kind of universal tool platform - an open extensible IDE for anything and nothing in particular.

In the News…

I have used NetBeans somewhat, and for an IDE written in Swing, it's not bad. The features that Eclipse offers such for refactoring, incremental compilation, debugging, etc. are really hard to beat.

“Eclipse will very likely be a quick & cost-effective way of forging alliances in the all-important battle for developers ... using open standards & open source software as the means to gather those developer resources.”

“Eclipse is a break from the proprietary pattern, it come at a critical time in the industry...its a very aggressive move”

The name of this new open source initiative is Eclipse, as in overshadowing of Microsoft's proprietary approach...it may take a long time, but the open-source movement eventually will accomplish what the government failed to do.

Suddenly IBM is cool

Governance

“Governance does not suck.”Jono Bacon


Platform for Success



Eclipse

• The Eclipse technology is a vendor-neutral, open development platform supplying frameworks and exemplary, extensible tools (the “Eclipse Platform”). Eclipse Platform tools are exemplary in that they verify the utility of the Eclipse frameworks, illustrate the appropriate use of those frameworks, and support the development and maintenance of the Eclipse Platform itself; Eclipse Platform tools are extensible in that their functionality is accessible via documented programmatic interfaces. The purpose of Eclipse Foundation Inc., (the “Eclipse Foundation”), is to advance the creation, evolution, promotion, and support of the Eclipse Platform and to cultivate both an open source community and an ecosystem of complementary products, capabilities, and services.
