Eclipse MTJ – Help Wanted

September 19th, 2009

Given Motorola’s push into the Android space , it comes as no surprise that they are trimming down the number of developers on the Eclipse Mobile Tools for Java project.  MTJ project lead, Christian Kurzke, announced via the mailing list that three of the key “Motorola sponsored” developers have been reassigned to a different project and will no longer be sponsored to develop the Eclipse MTJ features.  The good news is that Gustavo, Diego and David have expressed interest in continuing to be involved as individual contributors.  In addition, Jon Deardon from Research In Motion will most likely be joining the list of official contributors very soon.

As Christian pointed out via his email, now would be an excellent time to consider getting involved in the Eclipse MTJ project.  Even something as simple as being involved on the mailing list can help us out.  If you are a mobile developer using Eclipse Mobile Tools for Java, consider contributing a patch to provide a cool new feature or to fix the bug that annoys you the most.  Not a developer, but still want to contribute?  We can always use help with documentation and project marketing.  Pitch in and lend a hand!
