Monday, January 21, 2019 - 12:40 by Wayne Beaton

Eclipse Development Process 2018

Wednesday, December 19, 2018 - 08:12 by Wayne Beaton

On December 7/2018, the Eclipse Foundation’s Board of Directors approved a new edition of the Eclipse Development Process (EDP) which introduces one particularly significant change, along with a small number of other useful changes. We rolled this new edition out on December 14/2018.

By now most of you are aware already that Oracle has contributed Java EE specification to open source, and into Eclipse Foundation. The Java enterprise community decided to rename the Java EE specification to Jakarta EE. Part of this huge transition to open source is changing the specification process.

Wednesday, November 7, 2018 - 10:47 by Wayne Beaton

The Eclipse Foundation Specification Process (EFSP) was authored as an extension to the Eclipse Development Process (EDP). With this in mind, before we can discuss the EFSP, we’ll start with a quick EDP primer.

Time for new challenges!

Monday, November 5, 2018 - 10:37 by Benjamin Cabé

After almost five years with the Eclipse Foundation, I have decided to resign from my current position and will now be looking for new challenges. The Eclipse Foundation—and the Eclipse community at large—are pretty much family to me, so this has been a tough decision.
