It is near several beaches and has views of the North Shore mountains. The 7. , Erich Gamma Erich Gamma (born 1961 in Zürich) is a co-author of the influential computer science textbook, Design Patterns. He co-wrote the JUnit software testing framework with Kent Beck and led the design of the Eclipse platform's Java Development Tools (JDT). of the Eclipse Java Development Tools project, and John Wiegand of the Eclipse Platform project. The sessions will include the opportunity to explore the technical and commercial breadth of the community and hear insights from the experts through talks, tutorials, exhibits, demos and posters. Learn about the culture of open tools, why and how Eclipse technology evolved, the drive behind the rapid open platform development process, the application of Eclipse to a broad range of computing from servers to embedded systems and more. EclipseCon presents an opportunity to formally and informally meet key members of the ecosystem. The program is designed to enhance the interaction and dialog between attendees through a demo track, poster session, Birds-of-a-Feather meetings, and technology roundtables. Organizations interested in exhibiting have the opportunity to showcase Eclipse-based offerings and engage in needs-oriented discussions with attendees. Attendees will come away with the increased knowledge and the skill they need to enhance their software development work experience and productivity with Eclipse technology and offerings. A strong contingent of conference sponsors reflects broad community leadership and commitment to Eclipse. Gold Level sponsors include IBM Rational Software, Hewlett Packard and SAP. Silver Level sponsors include Catalyst Systems Corporation, ETRI ETRI Electronics & Telecommunications Research Institute (Korea) ETRI Enhanced Threat Reduction Initiative ETRI Electronics Telecommunication Research Inc. , INNOOPRACT Informationssysteme GmbH, Intel Corporation, MKS (Mortice Kern Systems Inc., Waterloo, Ontario, www.mks.com) A software company that specializes in programming tools and utilities for a variety of platforms.

"EclipseCon is the place where you can experience a new level of participation with the developers of Eclipse, open source project leaders and companies offering products that are powered by Eclipse technology," said Skip McGaughey, Chairperson of the Eclipse Board of Stewards. "As one of those leading developers who is working with Eclipse in commercial, academic or standards contexts, you will want to be here!" Tremendous grassroots response to the power of the Eclipse platform drove the decision to launch EclipseCon. Since its inception in 2001, over 175 vendors and hundreds of open source projects have committed to Eclipse. 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 thousands of developers using or creating Eclipse based tools worldwide. EclipseCon has been formed to serve as the premier forum where the Eclipse community joins together. "OMG (1) See Object Management Group. (2) "Oh my God!" See digispeak. OMG - Object Management Group recognizes the great potential value to end-users as a result of the synergy between open source and open standards efforts in the development community, thereby we welcome the opportunity to organize an event such as EclipseCon, the first of its kind," said Bill Hoffman, OMG President and COO. "When IBM and Rational collaborated in the early days of Eclipse, it was clear that more deeply integrated tools were needed by our software development industry," said Michael Devlin, General Manager, Rational Software Division, IBM Corporation. "Now that so many people have responded to the open and royalty-free nature of Eclipse technology, it's time for the community to meet, exchange experiences, share advanced tool technology and help define the future of Eclipse." "HP has found significant value in utilizing Eclipse, building tools that plug-in to Eclipse's open architecture, creating well-received developer environments for HP Software customers. We see EclipseCon as a great opportunity to continue the momentum Eclipse has made in the marketplace, and to learn and share with our industry colleagues who also support the technology," Mike Rank, HP GM and Eclipse.org Steward. "Eclipse and its unique open platform extensibility offers SAP an unprecedented opportunity to advance Java application development productivity and provide our customers with superior solutions that lower total cost of ownership by providing highly-integrated tools for the full software development life-cycle," said Michael Bechauf, Vice President of Java Architecture and Standards at SAP and Eclipse Steward. "EclipseCon will be a great way to experience first hand how much Eclipse continues to drive innovation and collaboration between industry and open source community."

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.
