EclipseCon on the ground (NewsForge)

[Posted February 3, 2004 by ris]

Joe Barr continues coverage from EclipseCon. "Eclipse went open source in 2001 and today has more than 50 member companies. The goal of Eclipse today -- since IBM has made it a completely separate and independent organization -- remains the same as it has always been, [IBM's John] Wiegand said: to make a fun and profitable framework for developing software that can be used by anyone."

I never thought I would hear someone from IBM use the words "fun" and "profitable" in the same
sentence.

Maybe it *is* a new century.
