<h2>
<a name="introduction">Introduction</a>
</h2>
<div>
<p>"Data Tools" is a vast domain, yet there are a fairly small number of foundational
requirements when developing with or managing data-centric systems. A developer is
interested in an environment that is easy to configure, one in which the challenges of
application development are due to the problem domain, not the complexity of the tools employed.
Data management, whether by a developer working on an application, or an administrator maintaining
or monitoring a production system, should also provide a consistent, highly usable environment
that works well with associated technologies.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/datatools"><b>Data Tools Platform (DTP)</b></a>
project provides a set of frameworks and basic tools to enable data-centric development in a variety
of data types, including databases (via JDBC) and ODA data sources (for BIRT reporting). The frameworks
are open to allow common interfaces (both API and user interface) across different types of data.</p>
<p>DTP is broken into a number of sub-projects. This project plan focuses on the Enablement subproject, which hosts contributions specializing DTP for specific data sources.</p>
</div>
<h2>
<a name="release_deliverables">Release Deliverables</a>
</h2>
<div>
DTP provides two main deliverables: one deliverable for developers, which includes
source code, examples, and so on; and a user or runtime deliverable that just provides
the basics for DTP use.

<p>The DTP project delivers a set of components to ease connecting to and working with data sources. Primarily DTP focuses on database (SQL development) work and ODA data sources for BIRT reporting.</p>

<p>The Enablement sub-project will work on the following themes and priority for the DTP Galileo release.</p>
<p>(Note that "committed" items have the "plan" keyword in the BZ entry. "Proposed" items do not.)</p>
<h3>Enablement Priorities</h3>
<p>We will focus on the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Continue promoting and expanding Enablement support (through community involvement) </li>
<li>Continue promoting and expanding Enablement support (through providing additional exemplary tools) </li>
<li>Promote Enablement-related Incubator projects where appropriate </li>
<li>Package DTP as an RCP SQL Development Tool </li>
</ul>
