Eclipse kills open-source SOA projects: c’est la vie!
Rumors are circulating that the Eclipse foundation closes SOA projects because SOA tools are not popular with Eclipse contributors (in french). I really don’t think so!
Two components of the STP (SOA Tools Platform) project are closed (STP-SC and STP-SOAS). But, it’s not a negative sign. On the contrary! It’s a sign of maturity.
These two components are closed because for a while now they were no longer maintained. But STP is not dead. Last year, the STP project grew with the arrival of many new tools for SOA: STP-IM, STP-Policy, STP-EID, SCA Tools. These components/projets are still alive and they are very active. More over, the ‘historical” components of STP have never been so active. Since two weeks, the BPMN modeler is a sub-project of STP.
So, it was the time for STP to be restructured to keep a clear line.
