| Motorola Joins Eclipse Foundation for Mobile Linux Project Motorola and the Eclipse Foundation have announced today that Motorola has joined Eclipse as a Strategic Developer Member. As part of this commitment, Motorola will hold a seat on the Board of Directors and participate in the Architecture, Requirements, and Planning Councils of the Eclipse Foundation. Motorola is also working with the Eclipse Foundation to propose an Eclipse Tools for mobile Linux (TmL) project, part of the Device Software Development Platform (DSDP) Top-Level Project, to provide the extensible frameworks and exemplary tools for the development of C++ applications targeting mobile devices. Motorola will contribute software, engineering resources, and its mobile expertise to work with the Eclipse community and across the mobile industry, to develop a comprehensive development environment for mobile Linux platforms. Developers working within the Eclipse community will be encouraged to contribute expertise and know-how to help reduce testing times and increase market-ready mobile application development. Motorola's membership in Eclipse is another important step in reaching the company's goal to further awareness and adoption of Linux in the mobile space. Last week, Motorola and industry leaders announced their intent to build a Linux-based platform for mobile devices and create a foundation to support it. In addition, Motorola recently launched MOTODEV, Motorola's new global developer and ISV program, as well as opensource.motorola.com, a new resource aimed at sharing source code, original Motorola open source projects and new ideas and information with developers around the world. The site features source code, including kernel and drivers, for Motorola's Linux-based devices. It also features Java technology including Java test frameworks, sample test cases, and will soon host code, documents, and specifications for Motorola-lead JSRs (Java Specification Requests) such as MIDP 3.0 (Mobile Information Device Profile). write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
