Eclipse is an open source community whose projects are focused on building an open development platform comprised of extensible frameworks, tools and runtimes for building, deploying and managing software across the lifecycle. ADT, the Ada Development Tools project (codename Hibachi), a sub-project of the Tools top-level project analogous to JDT, the CDT and others, will follow the Eclipse development process and be made available under the Eclipse Public License (EPL). As the Eclipse platform has grown in robustness, maturity and level of adoption, the Ada community has expressed the desire for a first-class Eclipse Ada development environment that can leverage the openness, extensibility and widespread availability of the exemplary tools found within the Eclipse framework. Various Ada vendors have announced the availability of Eclipse plugins for their Ada tools. There is necessarily much duplication of effort between these plugins, effort that could be better spent advancing the robustness and functionality of a common Eclipse IDE. Especially resource consuming is the integration of each proprietary environment with the myriad of additional tools that are often used in the large scale development environments in which Ada is frequently found. It is the goal of this project to marshall the resources of the Ada community of vendors, open source projects, third party tool providers, industrial and academic partners in order to create a vendor neutral, extensible, best-of-breed, Ada plugin for Eclipse. Since it is the goal of the Hibachi project to create a framework that can be exploited by all Ada vendors, regardless of underlying technology, the participation of representatives of the various Ada and tools vendors is highly desired in order to ensure that the best engineering design decisions are being made in terms of openness and extensibility. The ADT proposal can be seen at http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/adt/ Comments are welcome via the adt newsgroup- news://news.eclipse.org/eclipse.tools.adt newsgroup.

I'd like to thank Aonix for contributing the sources to AonixADT as the baseline for Hibachi, and agreeing to contribute engineering and project management resources to the project. I'd also like to thank Doug Schaefer, CDT project lead and member of the Tools Project Management Committee for agreeing to act as a mentor, and for the guidance and enthusiasm he brings to the project. For information on the Eclipse development process, refer to (http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/development_process.php) I look forward to your comments, suggestions and participation. -Tom -- Tom Grosman Hibachi Project Lead http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/adt/ Why wait for the movie?
