The document discusses the Eclipse SOA initiative, which aims to deliver an integrated SOA platform for developers. It notes that Eclipse previously focused on individual SOA components and tooling, but the initiative seeks to bridge that gap. It outlines how the Eclipse offering has expanded from tooling to include runtime frameworks like Swordfish. The goals of the initiative are to deliver a common extensible SOA platform and foster industry adoption and interoperability.

The mission of the „Eclipse SOA“ initiative is to
deliver an integrated SOA platform for developers
• Eclipse is already offering individual SOA
components for infrastructure developers in
the form of Eclipse Swordfish (SOA Runtime
Framework) and STP (SOA Tooling
Platform).
• What has been missing to date, however, is
a coherent, integrated SOA platform for
developing service-oriented applications.
• “Eclipse SOA” is an initiative aimed at
bridging this gap.

Goals of the Eclipse SOA initiative
• Deliver a common and extensible SOA platform (tooling and
runtime) based on Equinox
• Foster adoption of this platform by vendors and system integrators
• Achieve interoperability between products provided by the
participating vendors
Workstream 1 : A new top- Workstream 2 : A new industry
level project was formed working group was formed
The goal is to be the home for The goal is to establish a new
all SOA relevant projects in brand and to define criteria under
order to ease the development which conditions vendors and
to a platform including tooling system integrators are allowed to
and runtime use the brand
