The open source Eclipse tools project will orchestrate a massive, coordinated release on June 29. Among the "Europa" releases' 21 constituent sub-project releases, four are significant to Linux device developers, according to Doug Gaff, leader of Eclipse.org's Device Software Development Project. Eclipse comprises dozens of projects all operating as independent open source projects. Once every summer, a coordinated release is organized, so that users can check out new features without version incompatibility issues. Last year's co-release was code-named Callisto, while next year's is dubbed "Ganymede."
Of the 21 separate project revisions being released tomorrow, Gaff identified four as being of special interest to Linux device developers: C/C++ Development Tool (CDT) 4.0, Target Management (TM) 2.0, Device Debugger 0.9 (DD), and Mylyn (formerly Mylar) 2.0. Read the full story on linuxdevices.com.
