Ingres CAFE Brews Up Interest with the Eclipse Open Source Development Community
'Consolidated Application Foundation for Eclipse' Bundle Simplifies Installation and Deployment of Rich Java Applications
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. and SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 18 -- EclipseCON 2008 -- Ingres Corporation, a leading provider of open source database management software, announced today the creation of Ingres CAFE(TM) (Consolidated Application Foundation for Eclipse), which brings together in one bundle all the components developers need to create and deploy rich Java applications built using the Eclipse Foundation's open source development framework.
"Since we launched the Ingres DTP Plug-in for Eclipse last year, we have seen significant community interest in Ingres culminating in the community contribution of Ingres CAFE, which we are thrilled to announce this year at EclipseCON," said Emma McGrattan, senior vice president of engineering at Ingres. "The Ingres CAFE bundle takes the guesswork out of determining which set of components are required to build and deploy rich Java applications with Eclipse and Ingres all with a single click install."
Built over the last year, Ingres CAFE is an open source community contributed project spearheaded by Samrat Dhillon, a graduate student at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada.
"Anyone can download Ingres CAFE right now," said Dhillon. "Before Ingres CAFE, you had to build it yourself and put it together. Not anymore. It's one click and code."
Ingres CAFE bundles the Eclipse IDE, Ingres DBMS, Apache Tomcat, Hibernate and JSF libraries into a single installable package complete with quick start documentation and integrated maintenance as well as a demonstration program so developers can learn by example. Ingres CAFE includes a version of the Eclipse Framework and will include the Ingres Eclipse DTP (Data Tools Platform) plug-in which was designed with developer productivity in mind, incorporating rich functionality of the tool while maintaining a consistent way of working. The Ingres DTP also provides for support of querying of data, the ability to run SQL statements by simply highlighting the statement text, direct editing of table data and database procedure code, and the ability to execute and get results from row producing database procedures. These assist developers to become productive immediately with Eclipse and Ingres. Maintenance is integrated as well providing easy access to the latest updates and patches.
Stop by the Ingres booth at EclipseCON to see a full demo of Ingres CAFE. Developers can also immediately download the Ingres CAFE stack from the following site: http://bugs.ingres.com/wiki/CAFE
In addition, Emma McGrattan will be speaking on Wednesday, March 19 at 5 p.m., at EclipseCON, in a session entitled, "What are the Top Ten Reasons You Need a Playstation 3 at Work?" The session is for anyone who wonders "what if" when faced with popular electronics and developing technologies. Learn what inspired the Ingres Engineering team to spearhead open innovation at work (and at play) with Eclipse, running the DTP with Ingres support on the PS3 (running Fedora Linux). McGrattan is a newly elected add-in representative for the Eclipse Foundation board of directors for the upcoming term.
