Today’s Session

Welcome to the combined Eclipse Platform/SDK and Eclipse IDE Working Group meeting.

Originally there were to be two separate sessions but the agenda and topics had lots of crossover so we have combined into one.

Manoj Palot is here representing the platform session. I will start with an overview of the Eclipse IDE Working Group.

Eclipse IDE Working Group Summary

In April 2021, the Eclipse Foundation launched the Eclipse IDE Working Group to focus on the Eclipse IDE and the Eclipse Simultaneous Release (SimRel).

The group aims to ensure the continued sustainability, integrity, evolution, and adoption of the Eclipse IDE & RCP suite of products and related technologies.

To provide governance, guidance, and funding for the communities that support the delivery of the Eclipse Foundation’s flagship “Eclipse IDE” products.

To foster the growth and evolution of the ecosystem including, but not limited to, the Eclipse Marketplace.

To create true value for users by developing the platform with a user-centric focus.

Eclipse IDE Working Group Summary

The group also provides governance support, resources, and funding for the development of the projects (https://eclipseide.org/projects/) in the simultaneous release, as well as a framework for the resulting products.

Drive engagement among organizations and within the community.

Make it more attractive for organizations to build products with and for the platform.

Improve the user-friendliness of the platform for a better end-user experience.

The Eclipse IDE has a very large market share for many domains. The group intends to keep this share and increase it.

Next Steps

Now defining the Program Plan for the group for 2023.

Key points remain the same as 2022.

Our progress is good but so much more can be done!

There are a large number items outlined for improvement by the Planning Council. Far more than the budget and resources within the WG today.

So, to achieve our objectives we would like to encourage more companies to join or sponsor the WG.
