Where standards exist, we will adhere to them. This project will deliver an extensible, standards-based tooling foundation on which the widest possible range of vendors can create value-added development products for their customers and end-users. We aim to encourage Eclipse participation and drive Eclipse market acceptance by strengthening the long-term product value propositions of the widest possible range of application development vendors.

Vendor neutrality will be at the core of this project. Its exemplary functionality will be useful on its own but it will be designed from the start to be extensible so commercial vendors can use what this project delivers as a foundation for their own product innovation and development efficiency. We intend to apply these same standards to the Web/J2EE application-tooling domain.Ī major goal of this project is to support a vital application development tools market. The Eclipse Project has set a high standard for technical excellence, functional innovation and overall extensibility within the Java IDE domain.
