Description improved, please review
Hi all,
after some edits, here is once again the
current web description "about e4" -- inlined
into the E-Mail for easy reading. Comments and ideas are welcome! Original HTML
here if the links dont work for you:
http://www.eclipse.org/e4/project-info/project-page-paragraph.html
e4
is the incubator for Eclipse 4.0, to be released 2010. Extending on current
Eclipse and OSGi technology, its major goals include
- Making it easier to write plugins
- Allowing better control over the look of Eclipse
based products
- Providing a uniform, pervasive platform across
computing environments (Web / RIA, Desktop, Server, Cloud, Embedded)
- Increasing diversity of contributors to the
platform
- Maintaining backward compatibility for API-clean
clients
In
order to reach these goals, Eclipse APIs are refactored into services that make
up a uniform application model, which supports dependency injection to run in
multiple different contexts such as desktop or web; the Workbench is uniformly modeled to provide
introspection, flexibe shaping, CSS styling and
declarative UI markup; SWT target platforms are added to run in the Browser; and many
more initiatives in areas
such as flexible
resources, command
recording, scripting, plugins in other languages, pervasive
themes like reducing
bloat, and more involving broad community participation.
The
mission of the e4 project is to build a next generation platform for pervasive,
component-based applications and tools. See the original project proposal for more
details.
Cheers,
