| <p>OTTAWA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 19, 2005--The Eclipse Foundation, an open source community committed to |
| implementation of a universal development platform, will make the Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP) 1.0 |
| release generally available the week of Dec 19th, 2005. Eclipse WTP 1.0 is an extensible, standards-based |
| tool platform for developing J2EE and Web applications. WTP has already been adopted by the leading J2EE |
| suppliers, including BEA, Borland, IBM, JBoss and ObjectWeb. This full version release solidifies the |
| platform API for 3rd party extension, and accompanying major documentation improvements make WTP ready for |
| the next-level of vendor adoption.</p> |

| <p>"This release really starts to deliver on the vision of the Web Tools Platform," said Mike |
| Milinkovich, executive director of the Eclipse Foundation. "Providing a strong platform for companies to |
| leverage when building Web and J2EE tools is a critical component of Eclipse's strategy for providing a |
| universal development platform for tools integration."</p> |

| <p>"The new features of WTP 1.0 are designed to create a more vendor ready platform for Web and J2EE |
| development," said Tim Wagner, the PMC Lead of the Web Tools Project from BEA Systems. "Working together |
| with the diverse member companies in the project and the community has helped immensely to produce these |
| platform APIs, which can help to better enable other commercial vendors to leverage WTP tools for their |
| products."</p> |

| <p>This release focuses on two of the three major goals outlined in the WTP roadmap: defining the WTP |
| API, and keeping current with the underlying Eclipse platform. Future releases will focus more on the third |
| roadmap goal of currency with Web and J2EE standards like Java 5.0 and WSDL 2.0. Building atop the Eclipse |
| 3.1.1 maintenance release, WTP 1.0 upgrades the original 0.7 release to a state that is suitable for |
| adoption by tool vendors and debuts several new features:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Promote selected provisional APIs to platform status based on vendor requirements;</li> |
| <li>Componentize WTP into features to enable adopters to select subsets of functionality |
| appropriate to their requirements;</li> |
| <li>Enhance and extend the wide array of out-of-the-box developer tools introduced in the 0.7 |
| release;</li> |
| <li>"Future-proof" WTP by aligning its project model with Eclipse platform changes planned for |
| version 3.2 (the "Callisto" release);</li> |
| <li>Major document and help system contributions from IBM that include both end-user and adopter |
| documentation; and</li> |
| <li>Fix important bugs, with an emphasis on stability, adoption issues, performance and |
| scalability.</li> |

| <p>Inclusion of feedback from the community will ultimately help address the challenge of producing the |
| right platform APIs for a demanding vendor community; input from many sources is not only welcome but |
| necessary. The project already has attracted the active participation of major vendors like BEA, who leads |
| the project, ObjectWeb and IBM who helped initiate the project, JBoss and Oracle. The adoption and use of |
| WTP 1.0 in commercial products like BEA Workshop(TM) and IBM Rational(R) Application Developer for |
| WebSphere(R) Software can help to accelerate the adoption curve by other vendors, as improvements derived |
| from their usage can help to lower the risk for other vendors wishing to leverage WTP technology. Downloads |
