There are various press releases and announcements about BEA joining
Eclipse. (http://www.google.com/search?q=bea+eclipse) What is perhaps
more interesting to the Web Tools community is BEA's taking a leadership
role in Web Tools.
The PMC invited Tim Wagner of BEA to replace Bjorn Freeman-Benson as PMC
co-lead. Tim explained "As part of the Eclipse community’s acceptance
of BEA’s request to join as a strategic developer, we would like to
formally request a leadership role in the Web Tools Project.
BEA brings a long history of experience with J2EE standards and server
technologies, as well as award-winning tools for J2EE developers with
its Workshop IDE. BEA’s IDE technologies focus on open web standards and
span a variety of use cases, including web applications and services,
Java and JSP development, XML and XSD editing, data integration, portal
development, and more. With a large installed base among the Fortune
500, BEA brings not only development resources but also a deep
appreciation for the complexities of real world use cases to the Web
Tools Project team.
As manager for both the compiler/languages team and the Workshop IDE
core team within BEA, my background in J2EE tooling and language-based
IDE services provides a useful reference point for participating in the
leadership of this project. I have been an internal advocate for
migrating to Eclipse as a tooling platform, and also for adopting the
1.0 GA of WTP as a product dependency for BEA. My top priority for the
next several months is to ensure that WTP’s scheduled milestones
continue to be met without disruption.
In addition to my full time involvement in Eclipse project management, I
would like to also introduce other BEA employees we have identified as
being Eclipse committers."
The PMC is pleased to have some of Tim's caliber on board, and we're
pleased that BEA is going to help bring the WTP R1.0 release together -
there's still a lot of work to do in defining the APIs, ensuring the
quality, and making sure the framework and exemplary tools are "Eclipse
quality" code.
Welcome to BEA.
