                <strong>MOBILE WG HAS BEEN TERMINATED</strong>

            
                <h2>Charter</h2>

            
                <h3>Purpose and Scope</h3>

            
                <p>The application development tools used in the mobile phone industry are characterized by

            
                  vendor-specific offerings. A common development tools integration platform, Eclipse-based or

            
                  any other technology, has not been adopted across the mobile industry.</p>

            
                <p>A typical Eclipse based mobile application development environment contains components

            
                  sourced and adapted from many different Eclipse Projects (e.g. CDT, JDT, WTP). There are few

            
                  mobile specific projects within Eclipse (Mobile Tools for Java, Tools for Mobile Linux) which

            
                  have not yet gained the momentum or industry leadership for mobile application development

            
                  because these projects are narrowly focused on specific parts of an overall solution. This

            
                  constrains the value of the Eclipse platform for mobile application developers, mobile tooling

            
                  developers, and companies in the mobile industry.</p>

            
                <p>The intent of the Mobile Industry Working Group (MIWG) will be to define, implement and

            
                  promote a common Mobile Application Development Kit (MADK) which can be easily augmented with

            
                  handset -specific profiles. The MIWG will be the forum for collaboration between the industry

            
                  players to define and deliver a common platform, it will facilitate collaboration between

            
                  existing Eclipse projects applicable to Mobile developers, and initiate new projects based on

            
                  identified un-met requirements.</p>

            
                <h3>Description of Deliverables</h3>

            
                <p>The Mobile Industry Working Group (MIWG) will focus on four areas:</p>

            
                <ol>

            
                  <li>The MIWG will define and maintain requirements and a roadmap that defines a complete

            
                    mobile offering and encourage broader participation for different solution providers.</li>

            
                  <li>The MIWG will define the technical requirements for a packaged distribution (e.g. the

            
                    Eclipse MADK). The MADK will collaborate with other Eclipse projects (e.g. the Eclipse

            
                    packaging project), or create new projects as needed to implement new technology required

            
                    for the MADK, to deliver an extensible MADK package.</li>

            
                  <li>The MIWG will create a set of best practices and extension mechanisms that simplify the

            
                    use of Eclipse by a wide range of mobile application developers and tools vendors through a

            
                    common set of test suites, training materials and documentation.</li>

            
                  <li>The MIWG will develop a consistent messaging and promotion program to help raise the

            
                    awareness of MADK and Eclipse in the mobile industry.</li>

            
                </ol>

            
                </p>

            
                <p>The MIWG will not create or publish a specification as part of its deliverables.</p>
