What is Oracle doing to help the Eclipse community?
For customers who elect to use Eclipse as their IDE of choice, Oracle is committed to delivering the same productivity that customers using Oracle JDeveloper experience. The Eclipse architecture is extensible via the concept of plug-ins, which makes it inviting for vendors to collaborate on different areas and contribute their work as a plug-in. Oracle decided to get behind three standards: Java Server Faces for building rich user interfaces, EJB 3.0 for reusable and sophisticated business logic and BPEL for orchestrating Web services. Oracle’s efforts further contribute toward making the Eclipse platform a credible enterprise development environment.
