<p>Eclipse  ecosystem members co-operate to present open source for business at  CeBIT.</p>

<p>29  February 2012 - The Eclipse Foundation announced today that it will  be at CeBIT 2012 in Hannover, Germany, with six co-operating Eclipse  ecosystem members and a redesigned Eclipse Theme Island. In its 3rd  year at CeBIT, the Eclipse Foundation Island provides a unique  opportunity to learn about Eclipse open source software and the  businesses, institutions and individual developers that make up the  community.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Having  been a platform for innovation in software for ten years, Eclipse  technology has also become instrumental for businesses in managing  their software and development processes,&quot; said Ralph Mueller,  Director of European Ecosystem, Eclipse Foundation . &ldquo;In addition  to introducing companies participating in projects as diverse as  Jubula testing, BIRT business reporting, Eclipse modeling, Mylyn and  Eclipse and OSGi, we&rsquo;ll show how the Eclipse Foundation is bringing  the advantages of open source collaboration to software consuming  businesses in areas such as Automotive and Aerospace.&rdquo;</p>

<p>The  Eclipse Island at CeBIT will demonstrate a cross-section of the tools  and frameworks that together with this governance and ecosystem  model, makes Eclipse a solution for the full application lifecycle. </p>

<ul>
  <li>Actuate  	is showcasing the popular open source Business Intelligence and  	information application development technology, BIRT (Business  	Intelligence Reporting Tools). Visitors will be given an insight  	into BIRT's extensive capabilities and ActuateOne&rsquo;s value added  	functionality for BIRT including enhanced end user functionality and  	 a choice of deployment options incorporating on-premise, cloud and  	mobile BIRT applications. Live BIRT based demonstrations include end  	user interactivity, data analytics and dashboarding.</li>

  <li>BREDEX  	GmbH is a strategic member of the Eclipse Foundation and has over 20  	years experience in software development, consulting and testing.  	BREDEX is the organization behind the Eclipse Jubula Project for  	automated functional testing and will be talking about their journey  	to open source in the Open Source forum.</li>

  <li>At  	CeBIT EclipseSource will demonstrate its products and services  	designed to jumpstart organizations adopting the Eclipse Runtime and  	Eclipse modeling tools. The company will show the Yoxos 5 product  	for managing enterprise deployment of Eclipse based tools and the  	recently previewed multi-platform mobile extensions to the Eclipse  	Rich Ajax Platform. </li>

  <li>itemis  	offers services and products for model-driven Software- &amp;  	Systems Engineering. At CeBIT, itemis will be presenting their  	YAKINDU-tools for high quality software development. Amongst others  	YAKINDU contains solutions for the Management, Engineering and  	Traceability of Requirements as well as customizable and integrated  	development environments.</li>

  <li>Microsoft  	and EclipseSource show true interoperability with the demo, 'KINECT  	to Eclipse'. EclipseSource has connected the Kinect controller from  	Microsoft with the Eclipse IDE. This means you can control your IDE  	using gestures and voice. Microsoft and EclipseSource will give live  	demo&rsquo;s and introduce an extensible Eclipse framework  for the  	KINECT.</li>

  <li>Built  	on the Eclipse Mylyn project, Tasktop Sync provides organizations  	with heterogeneous software development and delivery stacks with the  	visibility and traceability needed in this world where software is  	increasingly becoming a differentiator and Tasktop Dev provides  	developers with order of magnitude productivity gains. Visit Tasktop  	Technologies to view a live demo and to learn more about the  	transformational effect Tasktop can have on software delivery  	organizations. </li>

Tasktop&rsquo;s Task  Federation&#8482; technology builds on this ecosystem to unify  heterogeneous ALM stacks by allowing developers, testers and managers  to work within their best-of-breed tools of choice, while  automatically maintaining traceability and visibility across ALM  artifacts. The company&rsquo;s Tasktop Sync provides the only real-time  bidirectional and fully automated synchronization between ALM  servers.
