Lattix Joins Eclipse Foundation
Provides new capability for managing software architecture for Eclipse community
ANDOVER, MA-January 3, 2006-Lattix Inc., today announced that the company has joined the Eclipse Foundation, an open source community committed to the implementation of an extensible development platform for building software applications. As an Add-In Provider member, Lattix is committed to delivering the power of Lightweight Dependency Models (LDM) to formalize, communicate and control the architecture of Eclipse projects.
"Our goal at the Eclipse Foundation has been to foster an open-source community that responds to the needs of commercial vendors and serves as a platform for innovation," said Mike Milinkovich, executive director of the Eclipse Foundation. "The endorsement of Eclipse by Lattix will further extend the capabilities of Eclipse developers to visualize and maintain the architecture during application development."
Lattix has developed a new lightweight approach that utilizes system interdependencies to create an accurate blueprint of large, mission-critical software systems. Lattix LDM is the first product to use a dependency structure matrix for a highly compact and scaleable representation of the entire system, providing high level visibility for the entire development organization. Lattix LDM also incorporates Design Rules to allow the formalization and automated enforcement of subsystem interdependencies, including external libraries.
"Our customers are very excited about having the capability in Eclipse to map their application architecture to the actual code," said Neeraj Sangal, president and founder of Lattix. "They now will have the means to test the architecture, detect violations while coding and prevent architectural erosion."
