Portland, OR – June 20, 2002 - Instantiations, Inc., a leading provider of advanced Java™ development and deployment solutions, today announced that it has been selected to serve on the Eclipse Board of Stewards, supporting the delivery of next generation software development solutions. Eclipse is an open-source technology, community and platform for tools integration. Eclipse creates royalty-free, open-source software that helps improve time to market, giving developers language and platform freedom of choice in a supported multi-vendor environment.
The Eclipse community brings together the broad participation of tool developers and tool providers needed to establish, refine and promote high quality shared software technology. Instantiations CEO, Michael Taylor, will be the Company’s representative on the Board. As a member of the select group of industry leaders that make up the Eclipse Board of Stewards, Instantiations will be able to contribute its extensive knowledge and experience in enterprise software development tools toward the creation of a robust, cross-platform development tool framework for leading-edge application development.

"Instantiations has made valuable contributions to the Eclipse Community over the past two years. Its leadership on the Board will add significantly to the community's strength in working towards the delivery of new era application development tools."

CodePro Studio enhances base Eclipse capabilities thereby streamlining the development process and improving developer productivity. Instantiations will continue to release a steady stream of innovative technologies and products for Eclipse.
Instantiations is especially experienced in conceiving, developing, and delivering products and technologies based on software languages and frameworks that are critical to enterprises. This enterprise view will become increasingly important as each of these individual environments plays a larger interdependent role in IT organizations.
