Eclipse is debuting a new set of tools aimed at increasing its appeal for Web developers. “Eclipse is a very successful open source community, best known for building tools for enterprise developers, particularly enterprise Java developers, but historically we’ve had less appeal among Web developers,” said the Eclipse Foundation’s executive director Mike Milinkovich. “So we asked ourselves, what can we do from within the Eclipse community to build a toolset and a tool platform that will resonate with the open Web development community? Our answer is Orion.”
Developers can now try out a beta version of the Orion platform by signing up for OrionHub. It offers a “browser-based open tool integration platform which is entirely focused on developing for the Web, in the Web.”
