			<h3Mission Statement</h3>
<p>
The goal of the Equinox Incubator is to experiment with techniques for 
      broadening the range of Eclipse platform runtime configurations. For example, 
      areas such as security, the use of Equinox on the server and Aspect weaving
      are prime candidates for investigation in the Incubator.</p>

      <p>These issues do not severely impact the usefulness of Eclipse as a development 
        tool platform but they do affect the use of Eclipse in more constrained 
        environments (e.g., handheld devices, IT managed environments, mass-appeal 
        applications, servers, etc.). The Incubator project will investigate such issues and 
        develop approaches which are practical and applicable to the main Equinox
        code base. </p>
