Eclipse sheds light on Callisto benefits
Functional highlights of next week's Callisto release from the Eclipse Foundation include a standalone OSGi (Open Services Gateway initiative) runtime, Web services tooling and platform support for OS X on Intel and Windows Vista, Eclipse said in a press statement.
Callisto synchronizes the release of multiple open source technologies.
The new OSGi runtime, which is part of the Eclipse Rich Client Platform, gives developers the option to use the runtime as a standalone framework. "As a standalone framework, it will enable developers to use it in a variety of application architectures, including embedded, client and server applications," Eclipse said in its statement.
New Web services tooling, meanwhile, will simplify creation, deployment and profile of Web services. These tools will be in the Web Tools and Test and Performance Tools Platforms.
With support for OS X on Intel and a preview of support for Vista, Eclipse developers can build applications for these platforms.
Also featured in Callisto are Release 1.0 of both the Data Tools Platform, to provide frameworks for building data-centric applications, and Graphical Modeling Framework, to make it easy to build applications that incorporate graphical editors.
Callisto projects will be available for download on June 30. The Callisto Web page is here.

Great quick update on Callisto. We believe that this type of delivery for the Eclipse ecosystem is the key to Eclipse's success - perhaps utilizing the EPIC portal to weed out plugins and enrich content at the core installer level.
Looking forward to tomorrow's downloads...
