Motorola Joins Eclipse Foundation

US based tech giants Motorola have announced their decision to join the Eclipse Foundation as a Strategic Developer Member.

This development means that Motorola would now have a seat on the Board of Directors and participate in the Architecture, Requirements, and Planning Councils of the Eclipse Foundation.

The company is also working with this foundation to propose an Eclipse Tools for mobile Linux (TmL) project. This is part of the Device Software Development Platform (DSDP) Top-Level Project. It would be developed to provide the extensible frameworks and exemplary tools for the development of C++ applications targeting mobile devices.

Motorola has committed to contribute software, engineering resources, and its mobile expertise to work with the Eclipse community.
