4 Eclipse Foundation Eclipse provides an ecosystem for tools integration Eclipse has formed an independent open ecosystem around royalty-free technology and a universal platform for tools integration. Eclipse based tools give developers freedom of choice in a multi-language, multi-platform, multi-vendor environment. Eclipse provides a plug-in based framework that makes it easier to create, integrate and utilize software tools, saving time and money. Eclipse is independent and not-for-profit ECLIPSECON, ANAHEIM, CA February 2, 2004 The Eclipse Board of Stewards today announced Eclipse s reorganization into a notfor-profit corporation. Originally a consortium that formed when IBM released the Eclipse Platform into Open Source, Eclipse is now an independent body that will drive the platform s evolution to benefit the providers of software development offerings and end-users. All technology and source code provided to this fast-growing ecosystem will remain openly available and royalty-free. Widely used industry standard 115 members (e.g. IBM, SAP, HP, BEA, JBoss, Novell, CA, Nokia ) 50 million download requests to date EntireX 7.3 Workbench April 2007 Page 4

On these platforms you have got the choice between a Windows or Linux/Intel design-time environment. EntireX command line interface will additionally be available on Solaris, AIX and HP-UX for PA-RISC. IDL Compiler (erxidl) will additionally be available on z/linux, Solaris, HP-UX and AIX. EntireX 7.3 Workbench April 2007 Page 32

33 EntireX Workbench 7.3 Installation - Options - The EntireX Workbench 7.3 technically consists of a set of Eclipse 3.1 plug-ins. There are two typical installation situations which are both supported by the EntireX Workbench installation: Common Software AG Eclipse already installed: EntireX Workbench functionality can be installed into an existing common Software AG Eclipse 3.1 Common Software AG Eclipse not yet installed: Common Software AG Eclipse (Standard Eclipse 3.1) will be installed and preconfigured with EntireX Workbench functionality Can be enhanced with further Software AG Eclipse plug-ins Can be enhanced with 3rd party Eclipse plug-ins if desired Moreover, the EntireX Workbench plug-ins are always copied to disk. This way the plug-ins can be installed to an arbitrary Eclipse 3.1 installation via Eclipse. EntireX 7.3 Workbench April 2007 Page 33

34 EntireX Workbench 7.3 Installation - Scope of Delivery - Windows EntireX Workbench Windows is delivered Can be installed from within EntireX Windows installation or separately Linux/Intel EntireX Workbench Linux/Intel is delivered Can be installed from within EntireX Linux/Intel installation or separately Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, zlinux The Workbench will initially not be available for these platforms. You have got the choice between a Windows or Linux/Intel design-time environment. EntireX Workbench Linux/Intel is delivered EntireX Workbench Windows is delivered EntireX 7.3 Workbench April 2007 Page 34

36 Effort and Impact I EntireX 7.3 features......will be covered by EntireX Workbench 7.3 only EntireX 7.2 IDL files......can be reused without changes...properties will be automatically migrated to Eclipse IDL file properties when opening an EntireX 7.2 IDL file EntireX 7.2 XML mapping files......can be reused without changes EntireX 7.3 Workbench April 2007 Page 36

37 Effort and Impact II EntireX Workbench command-line interface features......will be available independent of EntireX Workbench will not be available on: z/linux, HP-UX Itanium Existing command scripts (Windows) and shell scripts (UNIX) can remain unchanged On platforms other than Windows or Linux/Intel: EntireX plugins need to be installed into an existing Eclipse environment. EntireX IDL compiler (erxidl.exe): Most command scripts (Windows) and can remain unchanged Shell scripts (UNIX) and some command scripts (Windows) need to be slightly adapted: Windows: erxidl.exe erxidl.bat UNIX: erxidl erxidl.bsh EntireX 7.3 Workbench April 2007 Page 37

38 Advantages of EntireX Workbench 7.3 Increased interoperability Based on open standards and open source frameworks Easily add 3rd party plug-ins to extend the functional range Reuse your existing Eclipse 3.1 if you want to Increased efficiency and productivity Share the common Software AG design-time environment Reduce the learning curve to a minimum Find extraction tools for Natural, COBOL, PL/I in one place Increased usability and ergonomics Profit from Eclipse as a full-scale IDE Adapt the workspace, preferences, properties to your individual needs EntireX 7.3 Workbench April 2007 Page 38
