Auto IWG
This is the starting page for the Automotive Industry Working Group at Eclipse.
Objectives
- To provide an infrastructure for tool development required by the automotive industry
- To address and support the needs for the whole automotive software development cycle
- To avoid that the same non-competitive basic tool functionality is redeveloped over and over again
- To join forces and meet current and future requirements in terms of tool runtime performance and memory consumption
Activites
The following topics are currently under discussion:
- Defintion of collaboration mode and structure of this IWG
- Provision of an Eclipse distribution for Automotive Tool Developers
Eclipse distribution for Automotive Tool Developers
A dedicated Eclipse distribution for Automotive Tool Developers could be a first concrete step and deliverable of this IWG. The idea is to identify a set of existing Eclipse projects and components that are typically required in automotive tool development and make them available as a new Eclipse distribution at Eclipse.org. Though not including any automotive specific content yet, we believe that such an Eclipse distribution makes anyway sense because of the following reasons:
- It points out which Eclipse projects and components are actively used in automotive industry
- It gives an orientation regarding the Eclipse release automotive tool development is typically based on
- It eases the acquistion and maintenance of Eclipse platform automotive tool development
Based on the current state of discussion the following Eclipse projects and components have been deemed relevant to such a distribution:
