This effort includes support for planning and delivery processes, as well as the related delivery technology. The goal of the Eclipse IDE Working Group is to ensure the continued success, vibrancy, quality, and sustainability of the Eclipse Platform, desktop IDE, and underlying technologies. All consumers and adopters of Eclipse Platform technologies are highly encouraged to join and participate in this new working group. Founded by multiple participants, including Bosch, EclipseSource, IBM, Kichwa Coders, Renesas, SAP, VMware, and Yatta Solutions, this governance structure will enable broad collaboration to ensure the Eclipse IDE meets the latest market requirements.

This new working group provides governance, guidance, and funding for the communities that support the delivery and maintenance of the Eclipse IDE products. The Eclipse Foundation recently formed the Eclipse IDE Working Group to support this global community. With millions of users, tens of millions of downloads annually, and billions of dollars in shared investment, the Eclipse IDE is one of the world’s most popular desktop development environments. “The wonderful community that has driven this evolution, as well as our new working group, continue to ensure the Eclipse IDE platform will meet the needs of developers for another 20 years.”Ģ0 years after the Eclipse family of projects was first launched, the Eclipse Platform and ecosystem continue to be relied upon worldwide by developers and businesses to create commercially viable products in a variety of industry sectors.

“As the project that gave our organization its name, it is with great pride that I’ve watched this platform evolve to meet the challenges of today,” said Mike Milinkovich, executive director of the Eclipse Foundation. From the Eclipse Java development tools, to NASA’s Mars Rover mission planning software, to massive semiconductors, and myriad other technologies that power our lives, the Eclipse Platform continues to support developers building new applications. Throughout that time, the Eclipse Platform has been instrumental in driving the adoption of open source, as well as serving as the core technology for building some of the most advanced applications in the world.
