| <h2>Press Release</h2> |
| <h2 ALIGN="CENTER"><strong>Eclipse Foundation Announces Web Tools Platform 1.0</strong></h2> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>Eclipse WTP Project ships platform API for independent extension |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p><strong>OTTAWA, December 19, 2005 </strong> 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, |
| director of the Eclipse Foundation. Providing a strong platform for companies to leverage when building Web and |
| J2EE tools is a critical component of Eclipses 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: |
| <ul> |
| <li> Promote selected provisional APIs to platform status based on vendor requirements; |
| <li> Componentize WTP into features to enable adopters to select subsets of functionality appropriate to their requirements; |
| <li> Enhance and extend the wide array of out-of-the-box developer tools introduced in the 0.7 release; |
| <li> Future-proof WTP by aligning its project model with Eclipse platform changes planned for version 3.2 (the Callisto release); |
| <li> Major document and help system contributions from IBM that include both end-user and adopter documentation; and |
| <li> Fix important bugs, with an emphasis on stability, adoption issues, performance and scalability. |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| |
| <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 and IBM Rational® Application Developer for WebSphere® 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 are available now at the project website, located at |
