Self-Support Suite and Eclipse

SourceLabs, the company innovating open source software support, today announced that its Self-Support Suite now supports the open source Eclipse development environment. SourceLabs' Self-Support technology dramatically reduces the complexity of enterprise Linux and Java application development and maintenance, giving developers, corporate IT professionals, and solution providers an on-demand way to support web applications using the Eclipse Foundation's open source development framework.

SourceLabs Self-Support Tools quickly customize to the Eclipse environment, taking into account any dependencies. Discovery technologies identify issues and rank the quality of field-tested solutions, resolving problems in just minutes. SourceLabs' information repository has over 17 million unique Linux and open source Java objects.

"Enterprises are facing real complexity and cost of ownership issues as they adopt open source software," said Byron Sebastian, CEO and Founder of SourceLabs. "Our Self-Support provides direct access to open source expertise and helps preserve the cost savings by giving users a way to automatically identify and eliminate issues. Developers are using open source frameworks such as Eclipse to simplify writing enterprise applications. Now the support is simplified as well."

Eclipse extends the already wide array of Java and Linux technologies already included in SourceLabs' Self-Support Suite that includes the Spring Framework, Hibernate, Apache Struts, Apache Tomcat, and Apache Axis. SourceLabs Self-Support technology is a significant breakthrough in discovery, navigation and ranking the most current information of open source software. Indexing, managing, and storing the data, SourceLabs uses advanced pattern matching and predictive analysis algorithm to automate troubleshooting, reduce routine tasks from days to minutes, and uses analysis to flag potential problems before they can impact systems or designs.

The Eclipse platform is supported by the open source community and comprised of software projects that are focused on providing an extensible development platform and application frameworks for building software. Eclipse provides extensible tools and frameworks that span the software development lifecycle, including support for modeling, language development environments for Java, C/C++ and others, testing and performance, business intelligence, rich client applications and embedded development.
