The goal of the Europa Simultaneous Release is the same as last year's goal for Callisto: to release N major Eclipse projects at the same time. We are doing this simultaneous release to support the needs of the ecosystem members who integrate Eclipse frameworks into their own software and products. While those product producers naturally accept the ultimate responsibility for their customers' experiences, Europa's goal is to eliminate uncertainty about project version numbers, and thus to allow ecosystem members to start their own integration, cross-project, and cross-product testing efforts earlier. Europa is about improving the productivity of the developers working on top of Eclipse frameworks by providing a more transparent and predictable development cycle; Europa is about developers helping developers serve the whole Eclipse community.
Notice: Some of the services that support the smooth operation of our websites are still in the process of being restored. As a result, certain features—such as images and committer paperwork—may be temporarily unavailable. Our team is actively working to resolve these issues and restore full functionality as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
