XAML and Silverlight applications can use Eclipse or Visual Studio project resources.

The Eclipse-based SDLT uses a similar structure to the project system in Visual Studio. "We thought this project will not only solve the RIA challenge but also solve the interop challenge that exists between Java applications and Silverlight," he said.Įclipse4SL provides a project system, a C# and XAML editor and preview, and a compiler for packaging Silverlight applications. Rajagopalan also pointed to feedback from Silverlight customers about the interoperability issues between the cross-browser plugin and Java Web Services that use SOAP, REST and JSON. And we thought, why don't we enable rich Internet applications for Java developers? What is the best means of accomplishing that? And Eclipse is their platform."

When it comes to RIA, they typically use PHP or other tools," Rajagopalan said. "ava developers use middleware for enterprise applications. Version 1 of the Mac plugin is expected around August. The project developers are working on adding debugging capabilities and collocation support to Eclipse4SL in the summer timeframe, Rajagopalan said. Rajagopalan joined Yves Yang of Soyatec to host a session on Eclipse4SL at this week's EclipseCon in Santa Clara, Calif. The Windows and Mac plugins will offer comparable feature sets, according to Vijay Rajagopalan, the principal architect on the Microsoft Interoperability Strategy team who is heading the project in Redmond. Soyatec is an Eclipse Foundation member, and created eFace, a XAML/WPF editor for Java developers. The open source project, which works with the Eclipse IDE and RCP, has been submitted to the Eclipse Foundation. The technology preview of Eclipse4SL for Mac, available now on, follows Eclipse4SL for Windows, announced last October in conjunction with Silverlight 2 and released in January under the Eclipse Public License 1.0. The company has partnered with Paris-based software developers Soyatec to deliver an Eclipse4SL plugin for the Mac. Microsoft's attempts to plug in to cross-platform got more convincing last week when development on the Macintosh became a reality with Silverlight 3.
