by a wide assortment of commercial backers. The Eclipse Foundation is a true open

source project, with a board of directors governing the direction of the core platform

and an ever-growing number of technologies and projects built on it. As a
+
completely independent organization since February 2004, the foundation has
+
a suitably complex organizational structure and plenty of exciting legal documents
+
that you can read at eclipse.org. Each of
+
the more than 40 foundation members has either direct or indirect representation
+
on the board of directors, along with two representatives from the community of
+
Eclipse committers. Most importantly, all the member companies are following the
+
Eclipse charter by making a commitment  to release Eclipse-compatible
+
offerings and to provide continued support
+
for the community of users, researchers, and developers. It is remarkable how
+
quickly
+
Eclipse has grown from a small internal project into the enabling platform for
+
all kinds of areas, such as application development, modeling,
+
programming language research, and so on.
