The Effect Of Eclipse And
The JTC On BI Applications
There's a
good article at the DW
Institute about the impact
Eclipse (the open-source
Java IDE) and the
Java Tools Community
will have on the custom BI
applications market.
According to the article;
"The
controversy generated by
the so-called Java Tools
Community (JTC) is
having its impact on
business intelligence.
Some of the biggest
movers and shakers in
the JTC—its ten member
companies include Oracle
Corp. SAP AG, and SAS
Institute Inc.—are also
strong BI competitors.
Ironically, all three
companies are also
members of another
development tool
initiative, called the
Eclipse project, that
some see as a competitor
to the JTC. The reality,
say representatives from
SAS and Oracle, is that
both initiatives will
help to reduce a lot of
the pain when building
BI applications using
Java or Java-related
technologies."
