ActiveGrid, which calls itself the "Enterprise Web 2.0 company," is moving its tooling over to the Eclipse open source environment and will join the Eclipse Foundation as well, reports Paul Krill over at Infoworld. According to the report, "All of the company's tooling will support Eclipse by the end of the year, said Peter Yared, ActiveGrid founder and CEO, during an interview at the LinuxWorld conference on Wednesday. The company also will join Eclipse later this year."
ActiveGrid, which calls itself the Enterprise Web 2.0 company, focuses on simplifying the development and deployment of rich, interactive web applications for Global 2000 corporations. Taking the best practices proven out by leading Internet players, and adding enterprise-ready tooling, SOA and security features to the LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Python/Perl) software stack, ActiveGrid claims that it is possible to quickly and inexpensively build and run the next generation of enterprise-class Web 2.0 applications on existing Apache and Java infrastructures.
