Novell to Join Eclipse
Jan. 23, 2004 12:00 AM
Novell says it's going to join the Java-based open source Eclipse IDE-for-tools initiative, which is about to be spun off from IBM, and standardize on the development environment in the name of uniformity and efficiency. Basically it's mimicking IBM.
The consortium is expecting to be independent of IBM by the beginning of February and turn into the Eclipse Foundation much like the Apache Foundation, with a board, tiered membership and fees. There are 50 companies in Eclipse.
