 		<h2>Press Release</h2>
 		<h2 ALIGN="CENTER"><strong>Eclipse Foundation Launches Community Portal to Promote the Eclipse Ecosystem</strong></h2>
 		<ul>
 		<li>Genuitec, Innoopract and Instantiations Contribution Becomes Core Repository for Eclipse-based Offerings</li>
 		</ul>
 		<p><strong>JAVAONE (BOOTH 1138), SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., May 15, 2006</strong>  The Eclipse Foundation today
 		launched a community portal to promote the adoption of Eclipse-based commercial products, complementary open
 		source projects and Eclipse-related training, support and services. The portal, Eclipse Plug-in Central (
 		EPIC), makes it easier than ever for developers, software vendors and enterprises to find high quality open
 		source and commercial plug-ins, tools and add-on services to enhance their Eclipse development.   The EPIC
 		portal will be a key part of the Eclipse Foundations effort to promote and grow the overall Eclipse
 		ecosystem. </p>

 		<p>EPIC was initially created in 2004 and operated by an alliance of three Eclipse Foundation member
 		companies Genuitec, Innoopract and Instantiations.  The three companies have contributed the existing EPIC
 		site to the Eclipse Foundation and will remain actively involved in the development and evolution of the site.
 		</p>

 		<p>Today, the Eclipse ecosystem is one of the largest communities of commercial vendors, open source projects,
 		and service and education that has developed around a common integration platform.   There are over 1000
 		different plug-ins, 950 Eclipse related projects listed on SourceForge and an estimated 200 independent
 		software vendors (ISVs) that are using Eclipse as the platform for their commercial products.   The new
 		portal offers a central repository for this community to promote their Eclipse-based products.   It will
 		also make it easier for potential users to find Eclipse-based products.</p>

 		<p>The Eclipse ecosystem has greatly matured over the last few years, evidenced by the growing number of
 		plug-ins and tools available, said Mike Milinkovich, executive director of the Eclipse Foundation. We
 		believe that to realize the full potential of the ecosystem, it is important that we make it more accessible
 		to the community.   Our goal with EPIC is to have it be the place for finding Eclipse related products and
 		services.</p>

 		<p>One of Innoopracts missions has been to facilitate the adoption of Eclipse and Eclipse plugins by the
 		development community, said Jochen Krause, CEO of Innoopract.  The EPiC alliance was formed with this goal
 		in mind and has been successful in providing a reliable source of information on the ecosystem of plugins.
 		A merger between EPiC and Eclipse.org will accelerate the development communitys accessibility of the
 		Eclipse ecosystem.</p>

 		<p>Genuitec is pleased to have been part of the original launch for EPIC and are committed to continued
 		contribution for the new portal, said Maher Masri, President of Genuitec LLC.  It was clear to us that the
 		best interest of the Eclipse ecosystem is to expand community contribution toward making the new portal the
 		quintessential source for Eclipse information.</p>

 		<p>Instantiations is very pleased to participate in this important donation to the Eclipse Foundation.
 		The EPIC portal is a key tool for us and our customers and we look forward to the Foundation taking it to
 		the next level for the entire Eclipse Ecosystem", said Mike Taylor, President/CEO of Instantiations.</p>
