One example : AIRBUS A300
• Program began in 1972 and
will stop in 2007
2007-1972 = 35 years...
• Support will last until 2050

40. Technology Agnostic
• Definition of an Eclipse Project:
– The project will conform to the Eclipse Development
Process
– The project will conform to the Eclipse Intellectual
Property Policies and its related procedures
– The project will be licensed under the Eclipse Public
License unless otherwise and unanimously approved by
the Board.
• There is no requirement that Eclipse projects must utilize the
Java language or OSGi modularity (plug-in) model.
