An Open Development Platform

1. An Open Development Platform Mike Milinkovich mike@eclipse.org Executive Director Eclipse Foundation

2. Agenda • Brief overview of Eclipse • Why open source matters for Web Services and SOA • Web Services and Rich Clients • How to get involved

3. Hidden Agenda Open source implementations of standards-based runtimes, tools and testing frameworks are vital to the pervasive success of Web Services.

4. What is Eclipse? • Eclipse is an open source community focused on developing a universal platformof frameworks and exemplary tools that make it easy and cost-effective to build and deploy software in today’s connected and unconnected world. • Eclipse is a consortium of major software vendors, solution providers, corporations, educational and research institutions and individuals working together to create an eco-system that enhances, promotes and cultivates the Eclipse open platform with complementary products, services and capabilities.

5. The Members of Eclipse • 9 Strategic Members • 62 Add-in Providers • 14 Associate Members (Publishers, Research Institutes, Standards Org., etc.) • Large community of open source developers

6. Eclipse Eco-System – Community of Add-in Providers • 600+ available Eclipse add-ins • 400+ Eclipse based projects on SourceForge www.eclipse-plugins.info www.eclipseplugincentral.com www.surceforge.net

8. Why open source matters for Web Services and SOA

9. Web Services are About Interoperability Company B Company A

10. ? Vendor A Vendor C Vendor A Vendor C Vendor C Vendor B Vendor B ? Interoperability with Multiple Vendors • Different implementation of standards • ‘Value add’ proprietary extensions • Implementation of a web service does not conform to standard • Result: Lots of interoperability testing

11. Where problems may arise • Implementation of Web Service Runtime (SOAP Engine) • Each vendor implements standards differently • Different interpretation of standards • ‘Value add’ proprietary features • Optimization to certain environments (security, transactional, reliability, XML compression) • Implementation of specific web service • Is the web service using well formed WSDL? • Does the web service support the WS-I Basic Profile? • E.g. exclude SOAP encoding

12. Learn from the Past: Success of the Internet • Early 1990’s Internet starts to take off • TCP/IP and HTML become accepted standards • Most major software vendors develop HTML web servers • Apache evolves from NCSA and becomes dominant web server • It was good and free! • Commercial friendly license • Software vendors adopt Apache or ensure interoperability • IBM, Oracle, etc adopted Apache • The result: an Internet which is pervasively available and free Open source provides the platform

13. Key to Success for Interoperability • Open Standards • OASIS, W3C, WS-I • Pervasive open source reference implementations • Forces vendors to adhere to standards to ensure interoperability • Royalty free software promotes quick adoption • Open source implementation must be commercial quality • Freely available tools to create, test and deploy web services • Ensures web services conform to standards, ex WS-I Basic Profile

14. Open Development Platform • Eclipse, Mono, Netbeans • Consistent implementation and validation environment Open Source Platform • OASIS, W3C, WS-I • XML, SOAP, WSDL • Consistent Meta-data Open Standards Open Source Runtimes • ObjectWeb, Apache • Consistent execution environment

15. Characteristics of a Development Platform • Based on a managed runtime • Operating system neutral and portable • Semantically rich component model • Application frameworks which are extensible • Support update and management capabilities • Rich, extensible toolset appealing to both ISVs and application developers • Broad industry support and an active ecosystem

16. And in a Perfect World…. • The development platform provides tools that cover the entire software development life-cycle. • Model, Design, Develop, Test, Deploy, Monitor, Manage • Provides choice at each point in the tool chain • Single vendor tools suite vs. integrating best of breed • Is customizable for specific tasks, languages, runtimes • Ex. How do you support the wide range of J2EE servers • Supports all of your favourite operating systems • Has critical mass • Broad ecosystem of users, vendors, research, open source developers, education, etc

17. Java Dev Tools C/C++ Dev Tools Test and Performance Web Tools Web Services Web applications J2EE Business Intelligence & Reporting Frameworks Modeling Frameworks Graphical Frameworks Tools Platform Project Model Rich Client Platform Runtime(OSGi) Generic Workbench Update Eclipse Open Development Platform Ecosystem

18. Delivering the Vision • A sampling of Eclipse development solutions for: • Web Services • J2EE • Test and Performance • Rich Client Platform

19. Eclipse Web Tools • Focus on making it easy to create applications based on the common web, Java and web services standards • HTML, XML, XSL, CSS • SOAP, WSDL, WS-I Profile • J2EE: Servlet, JSP, EJB • Make it easy to deploy and validate for the common open source runtime environments and extensible for targeting commercial ones • JOnAS, JBoss, Apache Geronimo Eclipse Web Tools W3C JCP WS-I JOnAS JBoss Apache

20. Eclipse Web Services Eclipse Web Tools • Creation wizard based on W3C spec for WSDL and SOAP • Validation tools for WS-I profile (Eclipse WSVT Project) • Deployment support based on JSR 109 for JOnAS and Apache W3C WSDL WS-I Profile JCP WSDL File JOnAS Apache Axis

24. Rich Clients and Web Services • Rich clients will supplant portals as the primary interface to Web Services & Service-oriented functionality in the enterprise by the end of 2007 • Projected market size of $932M by 2010 for standalone rich client technology • Over 80% of business application products sold between 2005 and 2008 will be Service Oriented Business Applications (SOBA) (Gartner) Workplace Competitive Analysis: Lotus Competitive Project Office, November 3, 2004

25. Custom development of rich client applications • Fat Client Applications • Rich User Experience • Difficult to manage and update • Difficult to support multi-platforms • Rich Client Applications • Rich user experience • Works disconnected • Native platform support • Ease to update • Consumer of Web services Sophisticated User Experience • Browser Applications • Easy to Deploy • Need to be connected • Limited user interface Simple Ease of deployment and management Difficult Easy

26. Eclipse Rich Client Platform • Generic workbench • Extensible infrastructure • Editors, hierarchical lists, template for views and layouts • Runs on variety of platforms • Integrated help system • Pluggable component model • Based on OSGI standard • Update manager • Discovery of new plug-ins • Product packaging allows for custom branding of deployed applications • Native support for Windows, Linux GTK and Motif, Mac OS X, AIX, HP/UX, and Solaris

27. Custom Development of Rich Client Applications • ISVs are moving towards building rich client applications for their power users • Require support for Linux and Windows • Require component model • Require ability to update • Enterprises looking towards building rich client applications on Linux • Need a coexistence strategy with Windows

28. Eclipse Open Community • Become an Eclipse user and tell your friends • Test and report bugs • Write tutorials, articles • Fix bugs • Become a committer • Develop plug-ins based on WTP or others • Help wanted, e.g.: • Axis 1.1/1.2 support • WSDL 2.0 test suite (W3C) and validator • New WS-I profiles • Attend EclipseCon 2005

29. Open Communities: Engine of Innovation • Level playing field encourages participation from all • Shared intellectual property reduces cost and risk when adopting new technologies for both vendors and customers • Openness that makes it difficult for a single vendor to control • Result is a powerful platform for open innovation Open Standards Open Source Runtimes Open Source Development Platform
