[ohf-dev] [Fwd: [eclipse.org-committers] Project Declarations: Rich AJAX

[Grahame Grieve <grahame@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Eishay, the ECP project seems to overlap with the OSGi/Server stuff, but I can't
see any reference to that in their proposal - do you want to join the 
newsgroup and make sure they are linked up?

Also, this looks like it should be the infrastructure group we collaborate
with on the server side. 

thoughts, anyone?

Platform and Enterprise Component Platform

I am notifying the Eclipse Membership-at-Large of the intent of 
developers from Innopract to propose the Rich AJAX Platform project, and 
the intent of developers from Exadel to propose the Enterprise Component 
Platform project, both as part of the Technology PMC.

A brief description of the projects are below. Project proposals have 
been posted on http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/rap/ and 
http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/ecp/


**Enterprise Component Platform <http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/ecp/>**

The outstanding flexibility of the Eclipse Platform is provided by its 
comprehensive component model. The Eclipse Platform component model 
targets tools development, tools integration and rich client 
applications and offers users a strong GUI orientation. Unfortunately, 
there is nothing similar to the Eclipse Platform available for 
enterprise application developers. Existing components models do not 
provide the flexibility for enterprise applications 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_application> that the Eclipse 
Platform does for GUI-oriented applications. 

The Enterprise Component Platform Project's goal is to create a 
comprehensive component model for enterprise application development. 
The component model will provide a great deal of flexibility for 
building enterprise applications from components. In addition, 
applications would benefit from the component approach by acquiring such 
feature as adaptability e.g. ability to react on changes in environment 
at runtime. Finally, the project will create the ability to easily 
create enterprise application from existing components for development 
teams and users.
