If your products depend on Eclipse Platform (#RCP) technologies simply continuing to consume them will not be enough to ensure their long term sustainability. If this topic is relevant to you, you can meet me at the next #embeddedworld #ew26 @eclipse.org @eclipseide.org @ecdtools.eclipse.org

If your products rely on Eclipse Platform technologies, this matters. 🧭 Eclipse Platform (aka #RCP) components remain widely deployed, but the model sustaining them is under pressure. 👇 Read the full article to understand the risk and the concrete ways to act 👇 blogs.eclipse.org/post/thomas-...

The OC for Tooling agenda #OCX 2026, the "main event" of the @EclipseFoundation, is now live at ocxconf.org/event/2026/a... It covers IDE, modelling tools, language engineering, tool frameworks, and the concrete impact of AI on developer workflows and tooling ecosystems.
