The openness of the Eclipse platform and its powerful extensibility mechanisms have made it the reference for numerous usages: IT development tools, design workbenches, the Internet of Things, GPS, etc. With Eclipse, users benefit from better integrated solutions sharing the same ergonomic principles.
Globally, the Eclipse Foundation coordinates around two hundred companies and several thousand contributors. The objective of this not-for-profit foundation is to support and reinforce an independent, open and transparent community to develop a sustainable ecosystem.
Obeo has been one of the ten strategic members of the Eclipse Foundation since 2008, alongside players such as Google, Oracle, SAP and IBM. Obeo's leading position is the result of its unwavering contribution to numerous foundation projects (Obeo is ranked as the 5th contributing company globally). The company boasts around twenty committers (who have the right to modify the platform code) and several project leaders (projects such as Sirius, Acceleo, EMF Compare, ATL, EEF, Mylyn Intent). The quality of Obeo's developments can thus be controlled publicly and we are proud of the positive feedback received from users regarding the finish of our products.
