| <p><b>I thought Equinox was a Technology project?</b><br> |
| It was. And a successful one at that. Its main output, an implementation |
| of the OSGi framework specification, has become so popular and interesting |
| that we decided to move Equinox to be an Eclipse project and have it |
| host an OSGi community at Eclipse.org. For details on the transition, |
| why, when, how, ... see the <a href="documents/transition.html">transition proposal</a>. </p> |

| What's up with that?</b><br> |

| <td > <p><b>What is <em>Phase 2</em> of Equinox?</b><br> |
| The first main thrust of Equinox was to produce a new runtime for Eclipse. |
| That first phase was completed with the release of Eclipse 3.0. <em>Phase |
| 2</em> collectively refers to the work in Equinox which started after |
| Eclipse 3.0 was released |
| (June 2004) and continues on today in the <a href="incubator">incubator</a>.</p> |

| <p><b>What is the relationship between Equinox and the Eclipse Platform |
| project?</b><br> |
| They are siblings under the Eclipse PMC. Equinox produces, among other |
| things, the OSGi framework implementation used by the Platform (and all |
| other Eclipse-based work) as a component model.</p> |
