| <h1>Eclipse Foundation Launches Open Beta of OrionHub</h1> |
| <br> |
| |
| |
| <p><strong>EclipseCon 2011, Santa Clara, CA - March 21, 2011 </strong>- The Eclipse Foundation is pleased to announce that developers |
| may now sign-up for access to a beta version of the OrionHub service, a hosted implementation of <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/orion">Orion</a>. Orion is a new |
| Eclipse initiative to define a platform for building and integrating web development tools. An early release of Orion provides web |
| developers with an editor for JavaScript, HTML and CSS that runs in popular browsers and the ability to easily link with popular |
| web-based tools. The OrionHub service provided by the Eclipse Foundation will allow developers to experiment with Orion and provide |
| feedback to the Orion open source community.</p> |
| |
| <p>More and more applications are being moved to the web and cloud infrastructure. A key question is how software development tools |
| will move from the desktop to support a web-focused development workflow. Orion moves software development to the web, as a web |
| experience. It implements the workflows required by web developers building open web applications - workflows that dramatically |
| different from those implemented by existing desktop-based IDEs. Orion enables the creation and integration of browser-based tools |
| for open web development that are both powerful and flexible.</p> |
| |
| <p>Orion will be an open source project at the Eclipse Foundation. An important goal of this open beta is to reach out to the web |
| developer community to solicit feedback and input into the future directions of Orion. The first Orion Planning Summit was held |
| March 17-18 in Palo Alto to establish the scope and roadmap of the Orion project.</p> |
| |
| <p>Some key features of Orion include:<br> |
| <ul> |
| <li>A very fast, scalable and responsive editor for JavaScript, HTML and CSS development. </li> |
| <li>A new client-side plugin architecture, using HTML5, that allows tools written in JavaScript to be integrated into the Orion |
| client. Examples of existing integrations include JSLint and jsbeautify. </li> |
| <li>Orion is supported in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox 3.6 & 4.0, Microsoft IE 8 & 9 and Safari 5. The Orion client is written in |
| JavaScript and provides full integration with browser capabilities such as tabs, bookmarks, url sharing, etc. </li> |
| <li>Initial integration with git provides local history for Orion projects. A new git comparison tools allows for easy identification |
| of changes. Future support for git commands (fetch, tag, logo) will be added.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>'Orion is an exciting new initiative for the Eclipse community,' explains Mike Milinkovich, Executive Director of the Eclipse |
| Foundation. 'It is still very early days but I expect Orion will be as important for web developers as the initial Eclipse Java IDE |
| was for Java developers. Right now we are looking for people who are interested in using or adopting Orion and who are interested in |
| participating in the community.'</p> |
| |
| <p>'JavaScript developers need flexible lightweight tools available from a browser,' explains Andre Charland, CEO of Nitobi. |
| 'Orion's approach to providing browser-based tools is something we may integrate into our PhoneGap Build service. Adopting the Orion |
| tools would allow us to provide our JavaScript developers access to lightweight tools that make it easier to develop and build |
| cross-platform mobile applications.' </p> |
| |
| <p>The Orion hosted service is open to the first 5000 developers who <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/orion">sign-up</a>. In the future, additional slots |
| may be added as the Orion community grows. The Orion server is also available for download for developers who want to install Orion on |
| their own computers. The Orion source code is licensed under the Eclipse Public License (EPL).</p> |
