EclipseCon 2004 started today in Anheim, CA. Eclipse is a consortium of proprietary software and hardware firms developing probably the best open source development enviroment. "Eclipse is a kind of universal tool platform - an open extensible IDE for anything and nothing in particular."

You can visit the Eclipse project website at www.eclipse.org. "Eclipse has established an open source ecosystem of tools providers and consumers by creating technology and an open universal platform for tools integration. The open source Eclipse community creates royalty-free technology as a platform for tools integration. Eclipse based tools give developers freedom of choice in a multi-language, multi-platform, multi-vendor supported environment. Eclipse delivers a plug-in based framework that makes it easier to create, integrate and use software tools, saving time and money. By collaborating and sharing core integration technology, tool producers can concentrate on their areas of expertise and the creation of new development technology. The Eclipse Platform is written in the Java language, and comes with extensive plug-in construction toolkits and examples. It has already been deployed on a range of development workstations including HP-UX, Solaris, AIX, Linux, MAC OS X, QNX and Windows based systems."

Eclipse Foundation unveiled its new board of directors today. IBM, Ericsson, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, MontaVista Software, QNX, SAP and Serena Software are on the board. Sun Microsystems sent an open letter last week to Eclipse Foundation. Sun hopes both will work toward the goal of promoting the Java platform. Sun did not want to abandon the NetBeans IDE in favor of Eclipse and it failed to reach an agreement for joing the new foundation. Another point of the letter was the concern that "IBM may continue to exert a disproportionate influence over the organization".

The conference program includes getting started with Eclipse tutorials, technical talks and roundtable discussions for participants with a common technology interest.

The eclipse conference official website is www.eclipsecon.org.
