Exadel will propose an Eclipse Enterprise Component Platform Project, extending RCP to server applications and enabling building of reusable component software.

The first release of the Sybase-led Eclipse Data Tools Platform Project is planned, focusing on frameworks and tools for building data-centric RCP applications. Code also is being released for the Eclipse Communications Framework, which is for building rich-client applications that use VOIP. Composent is leading this project.

Separate from RCP, the Eclipse PHP IDE project will be formally unveiled, led by Zend Technologies. "Basically, it takes Eclipse in the large PHP developer community," Skerrett said.
