| Description</B></H2> |
| <blockquote> |
| <P>Pollinate's goal is to build an eclipse-based IDE and toolset that |
| leverages the open source <a href="http://dev2dev.bea.com/technologies/beehive/index.jsp">Apache |
| Beehive</a> application framework.</P> |
| <p>Pollinate provides a full-featured Java development environment that |
| enables developers to visually build and assemble enterprise-scale |
| web applications, JSPs, web services, and leverage the Java controls |
| framework for creating and consuming J2EE components; optimized for |
| a service-oriented architecture. This will be accomplished by creating |
| a broad set of eclipse plugins and user interface components for building |
| projects on top of the Apache Beehive framework. Beehive is an Apache |
| open-source project that uses the innovations in JDK 1.5 to help simplify |
| programming on J2EE and other Web Application containers.</p> |
| <P>Note. Pollinate is in proposal phase. There is a <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/newsportal/thread.php?group=eclipse.technology.pollinate">newsgroup</a> |
| created for the discussion of the project. Please visit the newsgroup |
| and get involved. </P> |

| <H3><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400">Status</SPAN></H3> |
| The project has been formally proposed and is in the Creation Review stage. |
| It will be placed in the Technology PMC as an incubator project to develop |
| these tools. <br> |
| <H3><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400">Platforms</SPAN></H3> |
| Pollinate plugins will be built in Java and should be portable to any |
| platform supported by Eclipse. |
| <H3><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400">Development plan</SPAN></H3> |
| <p>The plan for the Pollinate project is stll being developed. There is |
| a <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/newsportal/thread.php?group=eclipse.technology.pollinate">newsgroup</a> |
| created for the discussion of the project. Visit us there to discuss |
| technical issues, commit resources, and help us start this project.</p> |
| <p> We plan to follow a milestone based delivery schedule with incremental |
| progress visible in each milestone. Here is a rough outline of the timeline |
| we expect to follow for milestones. </p> |
| <p> M1 - Q3 2004<br> |
| Deliver prototype with basic editors and builders necessary to produce |
| a <br> |
| simple Beehive based web-app </p> |
| <p>M2 - Q4 2004<br> |
| Deliver a version with enough functionality for the community to produce |
| a <br> |
| full scale Beehive based web-app</p> |
| <p>M3 - Q1 2005<br> |
| Deliver a version of Pollinate that is as close to version 1.0 feature |
| <br> |
| complete as possible</p> |
| <p>M4 / RC1 / GA - Q2 2005<br> |
| Deliver a version that is feature complete (M4) followed closely by |
| release <br> |
| candidates (RC1, RC2, ...) as necessary to fix last minute bugs and |
| add <br> |
| polish needed reach 1.0 release (GA)</p> |
