| <p>RT is designed to foster, promote and house runtime efforts in Eclipse . | |
| It is part of a larger <a href="http:/equinox-portal">Equinox Community</a> move to | |
| drive Equinox-base technology across a broad range of computing environments and problem domains. | |
| These efforts strive | |
| towards the common goal of providing a uniform component model across a wide variety of computing environments. The | |
| Equinox framework and OSGi form the basis of this infrastructure. </p> | |
| <p>Eclipse RT projects target "clients" and "servers" across embedded devices, desktops, and enterprise systems, | |
| and provide those intermediate software services which enable applications to be more easily and concisely | |
| constructed across these environments. This supports and extends the Equinox vision of a consistent | |
| programming and component model where developers create application domain code that runs on a variety of platforms. </p> | |
| <p>By providing a consistent symmetric architecture, Eclipse RT technology enables developers to focus on the | |
| business problem at hand and still have many system architecture options available at deployment time. | |
