Hi PMC, There is an opportunity for press around some of the DSDP
projects in SD times. The email below is all I have at this point. I will let
you know when I hear more. We should take this opportunity to advertise our
current and upcoming 1.0 releases. Doug From: Ian Skerrett
[mailto:ian.skerrett@xxxxxxxxxxx] David, Thanks
for giving me a call today. As mentioned there are a number of
projects that are coming up on their 1.0 releases. Here are some that I
would suggest contacting. Device
Software Development Platform (DSDP) has 2-3 sub-projects that are expecting
1.0 releases, including Embedded Rich Client Platform (eRCP) and Target
Management Project. Doug Gaff from Wind River, is the PMC lead for
DSDP and can provide more details. I think the interesting
thing about DSDP is it is a great example of Eclipse adding significant value
and technology in the embedded and device market. PHP
IDE is another project that is getting set for a 1.0 release. The
PHP IDE project will provide a full function PHP IDE for the million of PHP developers.
This is obvious a great opportunity for Eclipse to extend our user base
and continue to full fill on our promise of offer support for multiple
languages. Andi Gutman from Zend can provide additional details. The
Mylar project is a great example of innovation at Eclipse. Mylar
essentially allows developers to take a more task oriented approach to their
software development effort. It allows developers to create task
and then associate all of the files, code, resources, documents, etc to that
task. The developer can then switch from task to task and have his
development environment adjust accordingly. Mik Kersten is the project
leader and I am sure can provide a much better explanation. Another
general trend I see is the increase in adoption and awareness of Eclipse
RCP. We are seeing ISVs and enterprises use RCP as the platform for
building their next generation applications. We also have a number
of projects that are building functional specific frameworks that can be
included in RCP based applications. Examples would be Eclipse
Modeling Framework (EMF) for creating and managing meta models, BIRT for
integrating reporting into an application, Data Tools Platform (DTP) for
integrating data access into an RCP application. Most of these
projects are pretty mature but their existence is helping drive adoption of
RCP. Let me know if you would like more information on this aspect. Doug,
Andi and Mik, David
is the editor-in-chief from SD Times. They want to do a feature
article upon the interesting up and coming projects at Eclipse. I
thought your projects would be good examples. David will probably
have some follow-up questions, so I hope you can assist him. Also,
if you feel I have missed a project, please feel free to mention it to David. Thanks Ian Ian
