| <h2>Specifications</h2> |
| <p>The Eclipse Foundation facilitates the development of code-first, open specifications that enable the compatibility, interoperability, and sustainability of both proprietary and open source independent implementations.</p> |
| <p>Specifications at the Eclipse Foundation are developed through the <a href="https://www.eclipse.org/projects/efsp/">Eclipse Foundation Specification Process (EFSP)</a>. The EFSP provides a defined, structured, and <a href="/projects/efsp/ip-flows.php">trusted legal framework</a> and governance process for the development of royalty-free open specifications based on mature open source processes. The EFSP allows the community to develop specifications in a vendor neutral, community-driven way.</p> |
| <p>All specifications produced under the EFSP are designed to enable independent implementations in any open source or commercial application.</p> |
