2008 Roadmap
This document is under construction!
Introduction
As required by the Eclipse Development Process, this document describes the Eclipse Roadmap.
The Roadmap is intended to be a living document which will see future iterations. This document is the third version of the Eclipse Roadmap, and is labeled as version 3.0. In order to preserve this document while the underlying information evolves, the pages have been frozen by copying them from their original project hosted locations.
The goal of the Roadmap is to provide the Eclipse ecosystem with guidance and visibility on the future directions of the Eclipse open source community. An important element in this visibility is that the Roadmap determines what projects will be accepted by Eclipse during the life of this revision of the Roadmap. In other words, new projects must be consistent with the Roadmap. This does not mean that every new project must be explicitly envisaged by the Roadmap. It does mean that new projects cannot be inconsistent with the stated directions of Eclipse. In particular, Eclipse expects that incubator projects created in the Technology PMC will cover areas not explicitly described in the Roadmap.
There are three main sections to this document:
- This Preamble provides some background on Eclipse and the Foundation, and identifies the strategic goals of Eclipse. It also provides a brief overview of the scope of future projects
- The Themes and Priorities which has been developed by the Eclipse Requirements Council.
- The Platform Release Plan which has been developed by the Eclipse Planning Council.
