Über die Eclipse Foundation
Eclipse ist eine Open Source Community. In ihren Projekten geht es schwerpunktmäßig um das Entwickeln einer offenen und erweiterbaren Tools- und Runtime-Plattform. Diese Plattform erlaubt es, sowohl Tools als auch Unternehmensanwendungen zu entwickeln, zu verteilen und über den Life-Cycle hinweg zu betreuen. Die Eclipse Technologie wird von einem großen Ökosystem unterstützt. Hier bringen sich neben den großen Software-Herstellern auch innovative kleinere Firmen, Universitäten, Service-Anbieter und Unternehmen aus den vertikalen Märkten ein.
Die Eclipse Foundation ist eine von Mitgliedern getragene, gemeinnützige Organisation nach US-Recht und stellt die Infrastruktur und Dienstleistungen für Eclipse Open Source Projekte bereit. Ausführliche Informationen zu Eclipse und der Eclipse Foundation sind unter www.eclipse.org erhältlich.
