Eclipse Gets a Silverlight Link
The wait is finally over for developers who want to write Microsoft Silverlight applications using Eclipse. Microsoft has announced a release candidate for an open source development toolset for the Eclipse development environment -- which itself is available in free and commercial versions -- that enables programmers to build applications that use Silverlight front-ends without having to rely on Visual Studio or Expression Studio.
Microsoft had funded a project by Soyatec, a France-based IT solutions provider and Eclipse Foundation member, to develop an open source plug-in called Eclipse4SL which enables advanced Silverlight development capabilities in the Eclipse IDE. Soyatec’s Eclipse4SL is a plug-in that works with the Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) to enable both Silverlight development and better interoperability between Silverlight and existing Java investments in web sites and web services. Soyatec is releasing Eclipse4SL under the Eclipse Public License Version 1.0 on SourceForge, and has submitted it to the Eclipse Foundation as an open Eclipse project.
The plug-in works within the Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE), which, along with Visual Studio is one of the two most popular IDEs. It also works with the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP). Its aim is to improve interoperability between Silverlight and existing Java code in Web sites and Web services.
Microsoft introduced its Silverlight streaming media technology two years ago, primarily, as a competitor to Adobe's Flash technology. Silverlight is currently in version 2.0, and Microsoft has recruited help from other companies, notably Novell, which developed a Linux version of the technology called Moonlight.
