'Swordfish' Eclipse SOA initiative makes its debut

By Alex Handy

March 25, 2009 — (Page 1 of 2)
Plans for an end-to-end open-source SOA stack built atop the newly released OSGi-based Swordfish ESB were revealed yesterday at EclipseCon, the Eclipse Foundation’s annual confab.

Swordfish will swim its way up the Eclipse project stream to link up with a forthcoming registry and repository project that will first arrive in the Galileo release train, coming this summer.

Dr. Ricco Deutscher, CTO of SOA service provider Sopera and a member of the board of directors for the Eclipse Foundation, said, “Swordfish is embedded in a larger initiative called Eclipse SOA. We want to develop a full-fledged enterprise service bus in it. We want to integrate system management and a registry repository. As of today, there is no enterprise registry service repository in open source. Therefore we plan to initiate a new project in eclipse to set the de facto standard."

Mike Milinkovich, executive director of the Eclipse Foundation, said that Eclipse is quite busy of late. “New projects are coming into Eclipse at a pretty fast pace. At the moment, we have 14 proposals,” he said, referring to the foundation's highest ever backlog of proposed projects.

“I think where we see a lot of the future potential for Eclipse is in these industry working groups, using Eclipse as a process for sharing innovation and building industry platforms. Any time you talk about companies collaborating in any way, you need four things. You have to have a licensing and [intellectual property] regime, and a governance model to make sure it's a level playing field. There needs to be a development process. And there has to be some form of technical architecture. You can get all four of those out of the box by coming and building collaboration at Eclipse. It saves an enormous amount of time and money."

Two months ago, the Eclipse Financial Platform proposal was accepted at Eclipse. This project seeks to build a standardized set of credit and finance management tools built on top of Eclipse. Milinkovich highlighted this project as an example of the interesting vertical market work that is coming into Eclipse.
