BEA Systems, Borland Software and host of other vendors have recently joined the Eclipse Foundation, giving the open source juggernaut more momentum in its quest to provide the de facto development environment.
All the recent limelight, however, has not detracted the organization from its focus to improve the development experience.
At its conference this week in Burlingame, Calif., the Eclipse Foundation launched the first developer release of a new Web services tools offering.
Part of the Web Tools Platform (WTP 1.0) milestone three release, the Eclipse Web services tools will enable developers to author Web Services Description Language, XML and XML schema standards, and provide wizards that simplify the Web service creation process.
