| Project Proposal for Embedded Devices submitted <br> | |
| by IBM, Motorola and Nokia</b></span></b></h1> | |
| <P>August 30, 2004 - The Eclipse Foundation announced that IBM, Motorola | |
| and Nokia have proposed a new Eclipse Technology project, called the Embedded | |
| Rich Client Platform (eRCP). The proposed eRCP project will create several | |
| subgroups to investigate the suitability of using various components of | |
| the Eclipse RCP in a variety of embedded devices, such as mobile phones | |
| and PDAs.</p> | |
| <P> The Eclipse RCP is the core component of the Eclipse platform that provides | |
| 1) a generic workbench, 2) user interface components to build rich client | |
| user interfaces, 3) a pluggable component model for easy integration of | |
| new features and functionality, and 4) an update manager for centralized | |
| management of deployed applications. </p> | |
| <P>The current Eclipse RCP has been primarily focused on desktop computers. | |
| The eRCP project will create several subgroups to investigate the refinements | |
| required to target the Eclipse RCP for resource constrained embedded devices. | |
| Nokia and Motorola will be leading the subgroup investigating the user | |
| interface components (eSWT) specifically for use in Java enabled mobile | |
| devices. <br> | |
| <br> | |
| The eRCP proposal will be available on the Eclipse Foundation website | |
| for public review and comment over the next 30 days. To review the proposal | |
| and provide feedback please visit the eRCP proposal home page on <a href="../../proposals/eclipse-ercp/index.html" target="_top">www.eclipse.org/proposals/eclipse-ercp/index.html</a>. | |
