IBM submits EGL project proposal to Eclipse
Posted by Mike on Wednesday, June 16, 2010
IBM has proposed to establish an Eclipse open-source project around its Enterprise Generation Language technology for modernizing mainframe code.
The EGL is a higher-level, business-oriented programming language within IBM’s Rational Business Developer (RBD) product. It is designed for business application developers to build end-to-end solutions in a single language that can also be compiled into COBOL, Java and JavaScript.
IBM hopes to start the project in late August or early September, after the proposal is tweaked and all interested parties are added, said Will Smythe, product line manager for IBM RBD and EGL. The project was announced in early June at IBM’s Innovate 2010 conference, held in Orlando.
