Munich, February 2006 — MicroDoc Computersysteme GmbH
(www.microdoc.com) announced today that it has joined the Eclipse Foundation as an Add-in Provider member. The Eclipse Foundation is an open source community committed to the implementation of an extensible development platform for building software applications.
“We are delighted to be joining the Eclipse Foundation, and to be able to support this strategic organisation driving an unifying architectural approach for rich Client Platform (RCP) deployment across both embedded and enterprise sectors” said Hendrik Hoefer, Managing Director of MicroDoc. “With our experience in project integration and Eclipse tooling, we are well positioned to leverage this convergence.”
Eclipse Services members can help to bootstrap organizations in their eclipse-based development projects and initiatives, and can provide education, training, consulting and mentoring for development teams. MicroDoc’s expertise, extending from custom graphics plug-in development, through RCP development, deployment and remote management, to J2EE/Mainframe Integration and embedded RCP design and development,
makes them an ideal partner to help exploit the benefits of the Eclipse platform.
“Our goal at the Eclipse Foundation has been to foster an open-source community that responds to the needs of commercial vendors and serves as a platform for innovation,” said Mike Milinkovich, executive director of the Eclipse Foundation. “This endorsement of Eclipse by MicroDoc will propagate Eclipse awareness and use in the wider development community, and ensure that RCP grows in importance as a solution for enterprise and embedded applications.
