 	<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>

 	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>
