The Web Tools Project
(WTP) consists of two
major contributions, one
from IBM and the other
from ObjectWeb. The IBM
contribution consists of
pieces of their
development tools for
WebSphere while the
ObjectWeb contribution is
what was known as Lomboz.
In this initial article,
since Lomboz has great
online documentation,
Bill Dudney focuses on
the IBM contribution.
What is open source? It
is a way of developing,
distributing, and
licensing software. In
the late 1970's and early
1980's, the roots of open
source as we know it
today were established.
On June 1, 2004, the
Eclipse Board of
Directors named Mike
Milinkovich the executive
director of the Eclipse
Foundation. The hunt had
been on since Eclipse
became an independent
entity earlier this year.
Here JDJ's Eclipse
editor, Bill Dudney,
talks exclusively with
Milinkovich about the
direction he wants to
take Eclipse and what his
vision is for the
community.
Might Eclipse one day
soon make OSes
irrelevant? Thought of
until now as being a
Java-centric initiative,
the Eclipse Foundation
under its new executive
director releases Eclipse
3.0 today, with its
ambitious sights firmly
set on making it not just
an IDE but a
language-neutral,
universal application
integration platform. 'If
you have not been
following the milestone
releases of Eclipse 3.0,
it's definitely time to
download a copy and get
started,' says JDJ's
Eclipse Editor, Bill
Dudney.
Already the contributor
of a significant amount
of technology to
Eclipse.org, IBM now
intends over time to
align its entire line of
Rational development
tools with the Eclipse
framework.
Here's what's being said
and written about Eclipse
right now, culled by our
editors from a variety of
different sources for
your reading
convenience...
'The first Eclipse drop
of spring contains a
veritable shower of new
features,' gushes the
official download site
for the latest Eclipse
build, version 3.0 M8,
released March 26.
This week, LynuxWorks
introduced the new
LynuxWorks Eclipse-based
IDE. A Linux and
Solaris-based development
environment, it's powered
by the Eclipse platform
and provides developers
of LynuxWorks' BlueCat
Linux with complete
control over creating,
editing, compiling,
managing, and debugging
C/C++ and Java embedded
and real-time
applications.
