Leadership By Numbers :: New Eclipse Resource

Category Eclipse

BZ Media LLC will be launching a quarterly journal for Eclipse.

Ted Bahr, Publisher of Eclipse Review and President of BZ Media, said, "More than 62 percent of companies surveyed in November 2005 say that they have adopted Eclipse tools and technologies, up from 53 percent in 2004. Nearly 40 percent of organizations now require or prefer that new development tools be Eclipse-based or Eclipse-compatible. The Eclipse market is booming, and Eclipse Review is the best way for IT professionals and developers to gain the technical information they need about Eclipse-based tools and technologies, and it's the best way for the Eclipse industry to reach and sell to the growing number of Eclipse professionals."

With the advent of Sametime 7.5, this spring, the large number of Domino developers will be enticed to move into the Eclipse framework. It's interesting to note that Hannover, Workplace, Sametime 7.5, and WAS Portal are all on Eclipse.

I can't think of another open source example, where such a broad range of commercial applications in a single family are served by open source tools.

2 - Libby, I was rooting for the e-Pro Eclipse publication. I'm guessing it was ahead of its time.

1 - I hope this journal's time has really come -- the publishers of e-Pro had an Eclipse publication for a while that didn't seem to have hit the sweet spot. I'll be interested to see the tack that this pub takes.
