How Eclipse Independence Will Affect Developers

Posted by timothy on from the whiter-whites-and-brighter-brights dept.

An anonymous reader writes "There's an interesting article on O'Reilly's OSDir site, with John Weigand, and Skip "former chairman" McGaughey, on what moving Eclipse away from IBM's sole clutches will mean for we ordinary developers. It's interesting to hear a more ground-floor account of this vs the usual "Big XXX Company joined Eclipse today PRs.""

    huh? You mean there is an eclipse happening soon?

    I doubt it will have any effects on developers anyway, especially we /.ers, who hardly see the sunlight.
