Helping to Assure the Future of the Eclipse IDE

webdev@eclipse-foundation.org (Eclipse Foundation) — Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The IDE Working Group has funds available to developers to resolve top technical priorities, identified by the Planning Council.

Background

At the Eclipse Foundation, open source projects progress using developers who are employed by members, self-employed, or volunteers. The Eclipse IDE working group was formed to ensure the continued sustainability, integrity, evolution, and adoption of the Eclipse IDE & RCP suite of products and related technologies.

Since it was formed in June of 2021 the working group has been sponsoring the release engineering, development of key features and fixes that everyone benefits from. Indeed, one of the main reasons for forming an industry collaboration in support of the Eclipse IDE was to address ’the tragedy of the commons’, and to secure funding for and to engage directly with developers who are capable of fixing known common problems. The way it works is the Planning Council identifies the top technical priorities to the Steering Committee and then the Eclipse Foundation locates an individual(s) to perform the development work arranging a required services agreement.
