Eclipse Foundation Councils

Eclipse Council Structure

As defined by the Eclipse Development Process, the open source projects in Eclipse are guided and co-ordinated by three Councils:

Requirements: The Requirements Council is responsible for capturing and organizing requirements for all of the projects in the Eclipse community. The Requirements Council reviews and categorizes all of these incoming requirements - from all residents of the Ecosystem - and proposes a coherent set of Themes and Priorities that will drive the Roadmap.
Planning: The Planning Council is responsible for establishing a coordinated Platform Release Plan that supports the Roadmap, and balances the many competing requirements. The Platform Release Plan describes the themes and priorities that focus these Releases, and orchestrates the dependencies among Project Plans.
Architecture: The Architecture Council is responsible for the long-term technical health of the Eclipse platforms and frameworks. More explanation of the Architecture Council can be found in the Eclipse Development Process and in the guidelines and checklists for the Architecture Council.

Eclipse council documents

As described in the previous section, the Eclipse Development Process calls for the Eclipse Councils to create the Eclipse Roadmap documentation for approval by the Board of Directors. The Eclipse Roadmap V2.0 has now been released. If you are looking for Board or Members meeting minutes, click here.
