Eclipse Foundation Launches Data Tools Platform 1.0.Open Source Community Project Spearheaded by Sybase, Actuate and 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) OTTAWA -- The Eclipse Foundation The Eclipse Foundation leads the development of Eclipse, the open-source Java application platform and IDE. History In 2003–2004 the Eclipse Consortium, an unofficial consortium of software industry vendors led by IBM, founded The Eclipse Foundation, a , an open source community committed to the implementation of a universal development platform, today announced the release of the Eclipse Data Tools Platform (DTP See desktop publishing. DTP - desktop publishing ) 1.0, a collection of extensible frameworks and exemplary tools for developing data-centric applications in the Eclipse environment. With DTP 1.0, developers can now easily leverage existing data sources, such as enterprise databases, within the extensible Eclipse Platform. Data-related applications are growing in significance, so this release meets an important development requirement in the software industry. "DTP 1.0 provides a rich set of frameworks that solve real-world issues related to the development of data-centric applications," said Mike Milinkovich, executive director of the Eclipse Foundation. "The growth and momentum of the Eclipse Data Tooling Platform project has resulted from the efforts of committers from the Eclipse community, including many from Sybase, IBM and Actuate." DTP 1.0 greatly simplifies development of data-centric applications in heterogeneous environments by offering a range of agile development See agile software development. tools. DTP 1.0 features three major components: model-driven development, connection management and data access framework, and SQL SQL in full Structured Query Language. Computer programming language used for retrieving records or parts of records in databases and performing various calculations before displaying the results. development tools.

"Developers see data access and management tools as an integral part of their arsenal in data-centric application development," said John Andrews For other persons named John Andrews, see John Andrews (disambiguation).

"Eclipse will meet an important requirement of developers by providing data-centric tools and frameworks." "Sybase is leveraging DTP and the Eclipse Platform for Sybase's unified development environment, Sybase WorkSpace," said John Graham John Graham, Johnny Graham or Jack Graham may be: In politics and history:
"Actuate has been pleased to benefit from, and be involved in DTP 1.0. We have long been champions of data-centric applications and believe that Eclipse provides the ideal framework for their development," said Mark Coggins, senior vice president of engineering at Actuate Corporation. "DTP is used for data access within BIRT, an Eclipse Project Actuate co-leads, and the Open Data Access (ODA ODA - Open Document Architecture (formerly Office Document Architecture). ) portion of DTP was contributed by us. We look forward to further cross pollination pollination, transfer of pollen from the male reproductive organ (stamen or staminate cone) to the female reproductive organ (pistil or pistillate cone) of the same or of another flower or cone. in the future." "DTP's technologies are important components of IBM's tooling for information application development and IBM is pleased to see this milestone release of the DTP project," said David Fallside, IBM Information Management Open Source manager. "IBM has supported the DTP project from the beginning and plans to continue its support in the future."
