| <p><strong>Ottawa, Canada November 2, 2011</strong> In the month of November, the Eclipse community is celebrating 10 years since the |
| start of the Eclipse open source project. In November 2001, the Eclipse IDE and platform were first made available under an open source |
| software license. IBM made the initial $40 million contribution of technology to start the Eclipse project that has now grown to |
| technology commons with an estimated value of over $800 million. The Eclipse community has also emerged as the leading place for |
| individuals and organizations to collaborate on innovative technology development.</p> |
| |
| <strong>Key Stats</strong><br> |
| <ul> |
| <li>273 open source projects at Eclipse.org |
| <li>1057 committers located around the world, more than half in Europe |
| <li>50+ million lines of code across all Eclipse projects |
| <li>174 member companies of the Eclipse Foundation |
| </ul> |
| |
| <br> |
| |
| <strong>Key Accomplishments</strong> |
| <br> |
| <p>Eclipse began as a platform for building tools, and its first killer app was the Java IDE. But the Eclipse community has since expanded |
| into many technology areas. Some of the key accomplishments of the Eclipse ecosystem are listed below. |
| <ul> |
| <li>Eclipse has an estimated 65% market share in the Java IDE space and over 6 million users. Since its inception, Eclipse has driven the |
| consolidation of what was once a highly fragmented Java tools market. It has been instrumental in the worldwide success and adoption of |
| Java itself.</li> |
| <li>The Eclipse C/C++ IDE (CDT) has become the de facto standard developer IDE in the embedded and real-time operating system market. At |
| least 50 companies are building their developer tool solutions based on CDT.</li> |
| <li>The Eclipse Modeling community has grown to become the largest and most innovative community at Eclipse. The vast majority of UML |
| modeling vendors worldwide base their solutions on Eclipse. </li> |
| <li> The Eclipse Mylyn project is now the industry hub for integrating tools across the application lifecycle. There are over 70 Mylyn |
| connectors that integrate different ALM solutions into the Eclipse developer's desktop.</li> |
| <li> The annual Eclipse Release Train has demonstrated how open source communities can deliver in a predictable and reliable manner. |
| For the last eight years, Eclipse has shipped a major release at the end of June, on time to the day. The 2011 release train, Indigo, |
| included 62 project teams, 408 developers, 49 organizations, and 46 million lines of code.</li> |
| <li>The Eclipse ecosystem has millions of individuals, thousands of companies, and thousands of universities and research institutes that |
| have grown up around the Eclipse industry platform. </li> |
| |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>We are incredibly proud of what Eclipse has accomplished over the last ten years, explained Mike Milinkovich, Executive Director of the |
| Eclipse Foundation. The combination of a strong technology platform, a vibrant commercial ecosystem, the right community model, and |
| passionate individuals has made Eclipse a worldwide industry success. Moving forward, we see Eclipse as the place for continued industry |
| innovation and collaboration. The next ten years are going to be just as exciting! Projects like Orion, Xtext, Mylyn, JGit, Virgo will keep Eclipse an exciting place.</p> |
| |
| <p>"IBM is proud of its 10-year affiliation with the Eclipse Foundation, from founding member to one of the most active advocates of |
| Eclipse-based technology and product development" said Sal Vella, Vice President Architecture and Technology, IBM. "It is vitally important |
| to encourage and enable open, transparent technology communities based on open standards and open source collaboration. The committers, |
| Eclipse Foundation, member companies and users have brought not just technical innovation, but organizational and governance innovation as |
| well, all of which will endure." |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>The Eclipse Foundation is organizing a number of activities to celebrate the 10th birthday. |
| <ul> |
| <li><a href="http://eclipsecon.org/">EclipseCon Europe</a> will kick off the celebration with a 10th birthday party. |
| <li><a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_DemoCamps_November_2011">Regional Eclipse birthday parties</a> are being organized around the world during the month of November. |
| <li>Eclipse community members are invited to add themselves to the <a href="http://eclipse.org/10birthday/">Eclipse 10th birthday timeline.</a> |
| </ul> |
| More information about the 10th birthday at available at <a href="http://eclipse.org/10years/">eclipse.org/10years</a> |

| <br><br> <strong>About the Eclipse Foundation</strong> |
| <p>Eclipse is an open source community, whose projects are focused on building an open development platform comprised of extensible |
| frameworks, tools and runtimes for building, deploying and managing software across the lifecycle. A large, vibrant ecosystem of major |
| technology vendors, innovative start-ups, universities and research institutions and individuals extend, complement and support the |
| Eclipse Platform.</p> |
| <p>The Eclipse Foundation is a not-for-profit, member supported corporation that hosts the Eclipse projects. Full details of Eclipse |
