Modernizing an Eclipse RCP application is still a significant re-architecture, but AI-assisted development is changing the economics. This article explores how AI can accelerate codebase analysis, testing, business logic extraction, UI reimplementation, and repetitive migration work and why now may be the right time to revisit an RCP migration strategy.

A new article from WELT looks at how the shift towards software-defined vehicles is changing the way automotive manufacturers, suppliers, and software companies approach this question. The article features Ansgar Lindwedel from the Eclipse Foundation and highlights Eclipse S-CORE as one example of this approach: working together directly on open source code for the automotive software foundation.
AI is changing custom tool and IDE development far beyond simply adding an assistant, from designing for AI agents to rethinking UX, architecture, prototyping, and team skills. This updated guide summarizes the key decisions to consider when building modern tools and IDEs in 2026 and is worth a read if you are planning a new tool or evolving an existing one.
EU regulatory frameworks have not always accounted for the unique ways open source software is developed and maintained. The EU AI Act represents progress in recognising open source, but adapting the EU’s regulatory framework to open source in practice remains an ongoing process.
For the second time in just ten months, Eclipse SDV traveled to Japan to connect with our highly engaged local community. This time, we not only co-hosted a meetup but also participated in Automotive World Japan, a major industry exhibition that brings together automotive manufacturers, suppliers, and technology providers to showcase and discuss innovations shaping the future of mobility.
We are happy to announce the release of Eclipse S-CORE 0.9 milestone. This update introduces architectural enhancements, new capabilities, and stability improvements.
A new whitepaper from Berylls by AlixPartners examines the potential cost, time, and strategic benefits of open source middleware for the automotive industry. Eclipse S-CORE features prominently throughout the paper as a concrete example of an emerging open source middleware initiative.
