Eclipse Launches Web Tools Platform Project
OTTAWA, ONTARIO, CANADA-July 26, 2004-The Eclipse Foundation, a community
committed to the implementation of a universal platform for tools
integration, and ObjectWeb, the international not-for-profit consortium
dedicated to open-source infrastructure software and provider of JOnAS, the
leading non-commercial, open-source J2EE application server, today announced
the launch of the Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP) project on eclipse.org.
ObjectWeb played the lead role in facilitating the project proposal, with
active involvement and support from Eclipse organizations and other
participants in the project. Formal project approval occurred on June 25
following a 30-day period for open review by the community.
Christophe Ney, ObjectWeb's executive director, commented, "ObjectWeb has
enjoyed working with Eclipse and the community to launch this project and
looks forward to participating in project leadership going forward.
ObjectWeb's mission is to contribute to an open-source ecosystem supporting
enterprise software that will drive lasting economic benefits for the
vendor, developer and end-user communities. We see Eclipse as a key factor
in that ecosystem and are excited to be contributing to its future growth."
"The Web Tools Platform project is an exciting new expansion of both the
Eclipse technology portfolio and our community of developers," said Mike
Milinkovich, executive director of Eclipse. "ObjectWeb's support was
instrumental in establishing the project and we look forward to continuing
to work with them in the future."
Bjorn Freeman-Benson of the University of Washington has been selected by
the Eclipse Foundation to lead this project. "We expect the WTP project to
quickly become the platform of choice underlying vendor-specific J2EE
tooling. The ObjectWeb Consortium provided the much needed drive to put the
project together," said Freeman-Benson. "I see their efforts in setting up
the WTP proposal as the first step in a durable, synergistic relationship
based on common values and complementary positioning between our two
communities."
Organizations that have already committed resources to the Eclipse Web Tools
Platform project include Bull, Eteration, Exadel, Frameworx, Genuitec, IBM,
Innoopract, INRIA, Librados, OpenWide, Thales IS, Together Teaml
