The Eclipse Long Term Support (LTS) working group provides a set of services to Eclipse Foundation Members who need to support and maintain commercial products based on Eclipse projects. Historically, building and fixing older Eclipse releases has been a difficult task. Worse, each company with this need was required to develop the necessary skills and processes necessary on their own. The goal of the LTS working group is to provide a single, shared service to make it easier to support and maintain older releases of Eclipse technologies that are embedded in commercial products.
Members participating in the LTS working group get the following benefits:
- Access to fixes for Eclipse projects years after community support expires
- Access to shared and professionally managed forges, build servers, and release engineering services
- Flexibility to accommodate your product lifecycle and customer’s expectations with open source
- The ability to have maintenance committers provide the fixes your organization needs, when you need them
- A marketplace of support consumers and support providers
- Member-driven governance, including influence over budget and strategic direction
The group is led by the following organizations
