Eclipse: a new way to mashup

In our approach for designing enterprise solutions, there is the need to realize some situational applications to manage all the enterprise business processes that the major Enterprise Applications cannot treat due to the particularities of these processes. The specific nature of these processes and their less relevance in the global mission make them less attractive for software houses and customers due to the high costs of designing and development. So the need to find a solution which guarantees low costs and short times of production. Our interest resides in mashup applications and the web 2.0 capabilities. Our intent, with this paper, is to show the eclipse platform as a very good solution to the problem of designing e developing mashup applications, showing which are the classical levels of a mashup application and how eclipse platform can satisfy all mashup’s needs thanks to its modular and flexible structure. In conclusion we show also the aim the governs the eclipse community and the constant rejuvenation process that gives us more trust on the future possibility in this way.
