The past weeks, we have been busy to review our code, and we are glad to announce that the source code of eclipse4SL is now fully available on SourceForge. This page explains in detail how to access the SourceForge repository.

We plan to update the sourceforge repository once every 2 weeks. Due to performance issues, we will not use it for daily development. If you want to get daily updates, please contact us.

Here what you’ll find in the source codes of the M1 plugins :

• org.soyatec.csm - C Sharp Language Model

Today, as scheduled, we published the Community Technical Preview release 1.0.0 M1. The Download page gives you detail instructions to install the plugins. Here are some tutorials to get started

The focus of this release is around architecture, infrastructure, resource management and basic tooling with Eclipse IDE. We are excited to show you our initial thinking of the project and some of the basic developer experience in RIA application development. We look forward to your feedback and feature requests.

We experience connectivity issues with SourceForge, which is an issue to get your feedback. We are working on it.

Update: Our forum and bug tracker are open. Please feel free to send us your feedback here.

The entire team is very proud of launching the Open Source project: Eclipse Tools for Microsoft Silverlight.

The purpose of this project is the creation of open source tools integrated with the Eclipse development platform that enable Java developers to use the Eclipse platform to create applications that run on the Microsoft Silverlight runtime platform. Specifically, the project will be an Eclipse plug-in that works with the Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) to provide both a Silverlight development environment and greater interoperability between Silverlight and Java, to facilitate the integration of Silverlight-based applications into Java-based web sites and services.

The project has been released as an open source project under EPL 1.0 license and submitted to the Eclipse Foundation: Eclipse Project Proposal.

We are excited to share with you our initial architectural thinking, design & eclipse developer experience in the form of a “Customer Technology Preview” version on the Documentation page. The Alpha version will be available October 14th, 2008 for immediate download from here. Please give it a try and give us your feedback on the bug tracker, and join the discussion on the user forum.
