Ab heute Nachmittag, ca. 15 Uhr mitteleuropäischer Zeit, steht die lang erwartete Eclipse 3.5 Version Galileo zum Download auf eclipse.org bereit! Grund genug auch für die JAXenter-Redaktion, die den Galileo-Release-Zyklus über die letzten Monate hinweg journalistisch begleiten durfte, die Sektkorken knallen zu lassen und ein wenig mitzufeiern! Und so präsentieren wir uns in den nächsten Tagen ganz im festlichen Galileo-Gewand! Herzlichen Glückwunsch an alle Entwickler, die an den 33 Projekten der Eclipse-Galileo-Version mitgearbeitet haben!

The brand new build I am referring to is entitled Pulsar and is squarely focused for mobile Java developers. Pulsar however, is a lot more then just a new part of the release train of Galileo but, an effort to simplify mobile application development for different mobile platforms. You can read more about this in this DeveloperWorld article.

Apple Macs, iPhones, and other mobile devices are being pulled into the open-source tools universe of Eclipse, a group whose genesis can be traced to enterprise Java and C/C++.
The project today released Eclipse 3.5, codenamed Galileo, which wraps 33 projects in an integrated release. For the first time, the bundle can be downloaded for development of Cocoa Mac applications destined for deployment on 32-bit and 64-bit Apple systems.

News out today that the Eclipse community has delivered Galileo. The 2009 Eclipse release train is made up of 24 million lines of code across 33 projects, with contributions from 380 committers and 44 companies participating.
As a product manager, I must say this is a pretty impressive accomplishment by the Eclipse Foundation and everyone involved with Eclipse. Well done!

The Eclipse Foundation's annual release train, this year dubbed Galileo, has now been released. The Eclipse release train brings together a large number of Eclipse projects and synchronises them into a single release with the aim of making "commercial adoption simple and straightfoward" according to Mike Milinkovich, Executive Director at the Eclipse Foundation. The idea is that rather than a commercial adopter trying picking up what could be dozens of seperate projects, by using the release train, they can plan for one major annual update.

The Eclipse Foundation will put out on Wednesday its annual release train, this time featuring the simultaneous release of technologies from 33 different open source project teams in spaces ranging mobile to SOA to the base Eclipse platform.

The Eclipse Foundation today announced its fourth "release train," a coordinated, simultaneous launch of a group of open-source Eclipse projects that has become an annual event. Representing a key milestone for Eclipse, this year’s new release train, code named "Galileo," is the largest yet, comprising 33 projects and more than 24 million lines of code.

Today marks the much anticipated release of Eclipse Galileo, or Eclipse 3.5. Once again, it's striking how such a large set of projects across the developer community can coordinate such a big software drop consistently, year after year. Congratulations and much respect is due to the project leads, developers and Eclipse foundation for achieving this.

Im sechsten Jahr in Folge hat die Eclipse-Community wieder ein koordiniertes Eclipse-Paket ausgeliefert.

The Eclipse Foundation today announced the release of Eclipse Galileo, the simultaneous release of 33 projects, including the venerable Eclipse JDT. As well as the new features covered by InfoQ already, the Galileo release includes the PHP Development Tools Project, as well as stalwarts like modelling packages and the persistence layer EclipseLink (formerly known as Oracle's TopLink).

Instantiations, Inc., today announced that its entire Eclipse-based product line has been updated in conjunction with the annual Eclipse release, Galileo. In addition to adding support for Eclipse 3.5, significant new and enhanced functionality has been added across the product line. Further, Instantiations now offers a new product, WindowTester Runner, that offers GUI test execution as a separate function from test creation, ideal for large Eclipse development groups.

For the sixth year in a row, the Eclipse community has delivered its annual release train on its scheduled date. Galileo, the 2009 release train, is the largest ever release from the Eclipse community, comprising 33 projects and over 24 million lines of code. Over 380 committers from 44 different organizations participated to make this release possible.

OSGi has been in the press a lot lately. Everywhere you turn there is some new product or project adopting the technology. From Eclipse to Apache to Spring. From servers to desktops to embedded. OSGi enables the creation of highly modular, dynamic Java-based systems.

Wondering what its all about? Join book author and Equinox OSGi project co-lead Jeff McAffer (http://my.safaribooksonline.com/9780321561510) and PDE OSGi tooling lead Chris Aniszczyk for an introduction to Equinox and OSGi concepts and look at the breadth and depth of technology available in this space.

Based on the Eclipse Process Framework (EPF), an open-source project managed by the Eclipse Foundation, the TOGAF Customizer can be used to implement TOGAF 9 more easily. TOGAF is an industry-consensus framework and method for enterprise architecture (EA) developed by The Open Group, and released in February.

Excelsior JET is the first compliant Java SE implementation that supports the core of the Eclipse Runtime (Equinox OSGi) at the JVM level and enables Java code and data protection by compiling RCP applications down to native code executables.
