Eclipse Web Tools Platform Project is a top-level Eclipse project that contains tools for developing Java Web applications.
The WTP project includes the following tools: source editors for HTML, Javascript, CSS, JSP, SQL, XML, DTD, XSD, and WSDL; graphical editors for XSD and WSDL; J2EE project natures, builders, and models and a J2EE navigator; a Web service wizard and explorer, and WS-I Test Tools; and database access and query tools and models.
Main features:
- Extension of the Eclipse value proposition The Eclipse Project has set a high standard for technical excellence, functional innovation and overall extensibility within the Java IDE domain. We intend to apply these same standards to the Web/J2EE application-tooling domain.
- Vendor ecosystem A major goal of this project is to support a vital application development tools market. Its exemplary functionality will be useful on its own but it will be designed from the start to be extensible so commercial vendors can use what this project delivers as a foundation for their own product innovation and development efficiency.
- Vendor neutrality Vendor neutrality will be at the core of this project. We aim to encourage Eclipse participation and drive Eclipse market acceptance by strengthening the long-term product value propositions of the widest possible range of application development vendors.
- Standards-based innovation This project will deliver an extensible, standards-based tooling foundation on which the widest possible range of vendors can create value-added development products for their customers and end-users. Where standards exist, we will adhere to them. At least, at first, where standards are emerging, we will wait for them to emerge; this can be re-evaluated later according to user needs and contributor availability. Where multiple technologies are widely used for a given functional need, we will attempt to support each, subject only to technical feasibility and our goal of providing the most capable and extensible foundation long term.
- Agile development Our aim is to incorporate into our planning process the innovations that arise once a project is underway, and the feedback from our user community on our achievements to date. We think an agile development and planning process, in which progress is incremental, near-term deliverables are focused, and long-term planning is flexible, will be the best way to achieve this.
- Inclusiveness & diversity We aim to assimilate the best ideas from the largest number of participants representing the needs of the widest range of end-users. So we will encourage organizations across a broad range of technical, market and geographical domains to participate in this project.

Pylon Application Platform is a free and open source platform for embedded applications.
Our mission:
- Our goal is to dominate the world.
- We consider Microsoft as our main competitor. The second our competitor is UAZ (Ulyanovsky Automobilny Zavod) which produces UAZ vehicles. That vehicle is just another way for user to be perfect.
- Pylon is designed by programmers and for programmers only.
- Pylons authors hate Java, Java applications, and Java programmers.
- Pylons authors like Apples creatures just a little bit.
- Pylons authors love Kubuntu.
- We decline any responsibility for any results of using Pylon.
- We do not recomend to use Pylon prior to version 0.2.0-alpha1 as a platform for Nuclear Power Plant control software.
- We do not recomend to use Pylon prior to version 0.5.0 as a platform for Automatic Washing Machine firmware.
- Pylon is a way to be perfect. Nothing more
Main features:
- Pylon is absolutely free either for commercial or for any other purpose.
- It is written in pure C and C++.
- It is for Linux only.
- It is a scriptable platform. That means that Pylon-based application will be scriptable. Pylon uses Forth as a scripting language.
- Pylon-based application is supposed to be a single thread application.
- Pylon provides a non-preemptive multitasking.

Whole Platform project is a technology for engineering the production of software.
We think that programming is an activity concerning the development of domain languages; so, we provide a platform for developing new languages, manipulating them using domain notations and transforming them to executable code.
Using the Whole Platform, the problem domain experts can work together with the programming experts for the development of software products.
The Whole Platform includes a modeling framework, a generative system, a family of languages, and domain editors integrated with the Eclipse platform.
The languages boundled with the Platform include popular languages such as Java and XML together with some new domain languages used for modeling the structure, the behavior, the persistence and the notations of a language.
Main features:
Architecture
- Extensible. The architecture provides an API for language extension. You can add/remove languages, notations, persistences and operations.
- Java frameworks and domain languages. All the expressive power of the Whole Platform is available as standard Java frameworks. Part of this expressive power is also available through a family of domain languages.
- Generative. The Whole modeling languages generate code on top of the Java frameworks. Together with the extensive use of wellknown Design Patterns in frameworks, the code generated feels hand written.
Metaprogramming
- Native support. Each Whole language can be used at template level and, if it has an executable semantics, it can be also used at base or host level.
- Staging support for visitors. Staging support is available for behavior defined using the visitors traversal framework.
- Mixing template languages. A single artifacts generator can use multiple template languages.
Persistence
- Stream based persistence. The Persistence syntax of a model is pluggable. Both stream based and model based persistence methods (kits) are supported. The streaming API looks like the building events produced by the Director participant of the Builder Design Pattern.
- Java code and XML default serializers. The standard persistence kits are based on a streaming API and are available in two flavor: Java and XML. The Java code, when executed, fires a stream of building events.
- Stream based behavior. Model behavior can be defined directly on top of the streaming API without prior building of the model.
- Multiple languages support. Programs written using multiple languages are supported even on a single source file.
- Versioning support. Facilities for versioning metamodels and migrate/import existing models are provided.
Editing
- GEF based editors for Eclipse. Model based visual editors for Eclipse can be added to a Whole language even using separate plugins.
- Rich graphical user interfaces. Multiple kinds of notations are supported including grammar layouts for text oriented languages, math layout for mathematical expressions, tree and graph layouts for diagram oriented languages.
- Multiple notations for a language. For each language multiple notations can be defined and deployed in a modular way. The notation can be changed while editing.
- Mixing notations. Multiple notations can be mixed even on a single editor view. This feature is especially useful for metaprogramming using concrete syntaxes for template languages.

Smart Common Input Method platform is a development platform that significantly reduces the difficulty of input method development.
SCIM splits input method into three parts: FrontEnd, which handles user interface and communication with client applications, Server, which handles the key event to string conversion work, and BackEnd, which manages all of the Servers.
Enhancements:
- The implementation of scim::Socket was improved for better error handling.
- A high power consumption issue caused by the X11 frontend was fixed.
