DDC-I Joins the Eclipse Foundation

Offers Integrated Solution for Safety Critical Software Developers

June 1, 2005 – Phoenix, AZ – DDC-I, a global leader in safety critical software tools for embedded applications, announced today they have joined the Eclipse Foundation, and will market their SCORE development tools for VxWorks under the Eclipse Integrated Development Environment.

DDC-I joins the Foundation as an Add-in Provider, and is in the process of creating Eclipse-based products optimized for Wind River's VxWorks RTOS. The final product, due to release in Q3, will be an integrated solution which means one GUI / one feel under Workbench, Wind River's Eclipse based development environment.

"The fact that our solution will truly be integrated is what sets us apart from our competitors," states David Mosley, DDC-I Engineering Manager and SCORE® Product Champion. "This new product will offer world-class SCORE compilers & a wide range of third party tools being integrated into Eclipse."

"The goal of Eclipse is to create a universal development platform enabling global enterprises to develop software more efficiently," explains Eclipse Foundation Executive Director Mike Milinkovich. "DDC-I brings over twenty years of experience with safety-critical embedded system software to the Eclipse platform. Their SCORE product's close integration with Eclipse Strategic Developer Wind River's Workbench and VxWorks RTOS offers embedded developers even greater flexibility."

Founded in November 2001 by industry heavyweights IBM, Borland, Red Hat and others -- including Oracle, SAP and Intel -- the Eclipse Foundation's open source development environment is gaining traction in the enterprise market and reaching into embedded systems, where a number of vendors are adopting Eclipse technology.

Dedicated to providing an industry-wide platform for the development of highly integrated tools, the independent Eclipse "ecosystem" is built atop royalty-free technology and universal tool integration, using a plug-in based framework making it easier to create, integrate and utilize software tools. By collaborating and exploiting core integration technology, tool producers like DDC-I and Wind River are leveraging platform reuse and concentrating on core competencies to create new development technology for safety-critical software programmers.
