As EclipseCon 2004 Nears, Momentum Builds for Premiere Conference on Open Technology.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers EclipseCon 2004 NEEDHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 8, 2004 Eclipse announces a sharp increase in the number of registrants attending its inaugural conference on open technology taking place February 2-5, 2004 in Anaheim, CA, USA. The development underlines a strong program that is designed to serve as the official forum where the Eclipse community joins together. Anticipation is building as Eclipse prepares to roll out the event. Highlights include one day of tutorials covering topics such as "Getting Started with Eclipse" and "Contributing to Eclipse: understanding and writing plug-ins." Five keynotes as well as numerous technical talks, sponsor exhibits, technology exchanges, a poster gallery and birds-of-a-feather sessions round out the program lineup. Attendees will bring back valuable expertise to their organizations through increased understanding of the breadth and depth of the Eclipse community and Eclipse-based offerings. Those interested in attending should register now at http://www.eclipsecon.org, as tutorials are currently filling up and conference space may become limited. This is the first technical conference to focus on the power of the Eclipse platform, which recently celebrated its 2-year anniversary. The consortium has 62 sponsoring member companies. The Eclipse website registers 10,000 Eclipse Platform download requests per day and has delivered over 90 terabytes of data since its inception. There are over 450 Eclipse related projects independently tracked by http://www.eclipse-plugins.info and thousands of developers using or creating Eclipse based tools worldwide. And this week Eclipse 2.1 was named "Best Development Tool of 2003" in the category of Application Development in InfoWorld's Technology of the Year Award competition. EclipseCon 2004 is sponsored by HP, IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) Rational Software, SAP and Wind River at the Gold level and by Advanced Systems Concepts, Candle, Catalyst Systems Corporation, ETRI ETRI Electronics & Telecommunications Research Institute (Korea) ETRI Enhanced Threat Reduction Initiative ETRI Electronics Telecommunication Research Inc. , ILOG, INNOOPRACT Informationssysteme GmbH, Intel Corporation, MKS, Inc., MontaVista Software, Ontometrix, Parasoft Corporation, QNX Software Systems Ltd., Scapa Technologies, Serena Software, SlickEdit Inc., SoftLanding Systems, Inc. and SourceBeat at the Silver level.

About Eclipse Eclipse has established an open source ecosystem of tools providers and consumers by creating technology and an open universal platform for tools integration. The open source Eclipse community creates royalty-free technology as a platform for tools integration. Eclipse based tools give developers freedom of choice in a multi-language, multi-platform, multi-vendor supported environment. Eclipse delivers a plug-in based framework that makes it easier to create, integrate and use software tools, saving time and money. By collaborating and sharing core integration technology, tool producers can concentrate on their areas of expertise and the creation of new development technology. The Eclipse Platform is written in the Java(TM) language, and comes with extensive plug-in construction toolkits and examples. It has already been deployed on a range of development workstations including HP-UX HP's version of Unix that runs on its 9000 family. It is based on SVID and incorporates features from BSD Unix along with several HP innovations. (operating system) HP-UX - The version of Unix running on Hewlett-Packard workstations. (R), Solaris(R), AIX(R), Linux(R), MAC OS X(R), QNX(R) and Windows(R) based systems. Full details of the Eclipse community and white papers documenting the design of the Eclipse Platform are available at http://www.eclipse.org. About The OMG With well-established standards covering software from design and development, through deployment and maintenance, and extending to evolution to future platforms, the Object Management Group (OMG) supports a full-lifecycle approach to enterprise integration which maximizes ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). , the key to successful IT. OMG's standards cover multiple operating systems, programming languages, middleware and networking infrastructures, and software development environments. OMG's Modeling standards, the basis for the MDA (1) (Monochrome Display Adapter) The first IBM PC monochrome video display standard for text. Due to its lack of graphics, MDA cards were often replaced with Hercules cards, which provided both text and graphics. See PC display modes and Hercules Graphics. , include the Unified Modeling Language See UML. (language) Unified Modeling Language - (UML) A non-proprietary, third generation modelling language. The Unified Modeling Language is an open method used to specify, visualise, construct and document the artifacts of an object-oriented software-intensive system (UML) and Common Warehouse Metamodel For other uses of "CWM", see CWM (disambiguation). The Common Warehouse Metamodel (CWM) is a specification for modeling metadata for relational, non-relational, multi-dimensional, and most other objects found in a data warehousing environment. (CWM).
